What is a no-confidence motion in Indian Political System
Explain the concept of a "No-Confidence Motion" in the Indian Political System and how it can be initiated.
- The main purpose of a No-Confidence Motion is to test the strength of the ruling government and to give the opposition an opportunity to form an alternative government.
- If the No-Confidence Motion is passed in the Lok Sabha, the ruling government is required to resign from their position and allow the opposition to form a new government or call for fresh elections.
- A No-Confidence Motion can be initiated only on the ground of the failure of the ruling government to maintain the confidence of the house.
- The speaker of the Lok Sabha decides if the motion is admissible or not.
- The Prime Minister has the right to respond to the motion before the house votes on it.
- If the Prime Minister loses a No-Confidence Motion, then the entire council of ministers is deemed to have resigned.
