The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on Wednesday moved a separate no-confidence motion (NCM) against the Narendra Modi government in the Lok Sabha on the issue of Manipur violence. All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi extended his support to BRS’s motion.

The BRS, which is not part of the BJP-led NDA or Opposition coalition INDIA, decided to move a separate motion on this issue despite lacking adequate numbers. While a motion requires the support of at least 50 MPs, the BRS has only nine MPs in the Lok Sabha.

In another development, the BRS on Wednesday issued a whip asking all its Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members to vote against the Bill to replace the ordinance on Delhi services, whenever it is tabled in the upper and lower houses. The BRS has seven MPs in the Rajya Sabha.

Party sources said that BRS floor leader in Lok Sabha, Nama Nageswara Rao, served a notice to the Secretary General of Lok Sabha, seeking to move the no-confidence motion, on the directions of party president and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.
