How does the provision of no-confidence motion work in the Indian political system?
Explore the process and implications of a no-confidence motion in India.
- A no-confidence motion can be initiated by any member of the Lok Sabha by giving a written notice
- If at least 50 members support the motion, it is accepted for debate and voting within 10 days
- If the motion is passed by a majority vote, the government must resign and the President will appoint a new government or dissolve the Parliament for fresh elections
- The implications of a successful no-confidence motion are significant as it can lead to a change in government and policy direction
- A failed no-confidence motion, on the other hand, strengthens the ruling government's position
