Congress plans 'No Confidence Motion' against TRS Govt

The main opposition Congress is planning to move a 'No Confidence Motion' against the TRS Government in Telangana State.

According to sources, the proposal was discussed at the Congress Legislature Party Office by Leader of Opposition K. Jana Reddy. Some Congress legislators have reportedly asked Jana Reddy to move a 'No Confidence Motion' as it was done by YSR Congress Party in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh against TDP Government. They said that the political situation in Telangana was more volatile that AP, especially in view of huge number of defections.

The Congress MLAs are of the view that TRS Government, especially Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao has been trying to wipe out the entire opposition from the State. They were quite concerned over the way KCR encouraged defection by 12 TDP MLAs and later merged them into TRS. They also objected to the behaviour of Speaker S. Madhusudan Chary who, they alleged, was acting in a partisan manner.

The Congress legislators said that the CLP should issue a Whip asking all members to vote against the government. If anyone goes against the whip, then they would be automatically liable for disqualification.

When asked for reaction on proposed "No Confidence Motion", TPCC President N. Uttam Kumar Reddy admitted that the party was seriously discussing the issue and a decision would be taken soon.
