July 26th 2023.
On Wednesday, the Opposition parties had moved a no-confidence motion against the government in the Lok Sabha, which was accepted by Speaker Om Birla after a head count of over 50 MPs as required under the rules.
It was on this day that a video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking about the possibility of a no-confidence motion in 2023 surfaced online. PM Modi had made the comment in his speech during the Motion of Thanks on the President's address in 2019, which was his last major speech before the 2019 general elections.
The BJP went on to win the 2019 polls, with 303 seats compared to 282 in the 2014 general elections. PM Modi's statement has now gone viral on social media, with many calling it a 'prediction' to the recent scenario.
The Opposition had also brought a similar no-confidence motion last term. This time around, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi moved the motion on behalf of the 26 Opposition parties under the I.N.D.I.A alliance - Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance.
The I.N.D.I.A alliance is expected to meet after August 15th this year, likely in Mumbai. This will be the first meeting since the no-confidence motion was brought against the government.
