Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: What is no-confidence motion to be moved today?
A no-confidence motion serves as a mechanism to assess the joint accountability of the governing administration. If a Member of Parliament (MP) feels that the government doesn't have enough support to stay in charge and do its duties, they can propose a no-confidence motion (also known as no-trust motion). This motion needs support from at least 50 other MPs.To proceed with this, the support of 50 fellow colleagues is required and can only be initiated within the Lok Sabha.
Within a parliamentary democracy, the continuity of a government's authority relies on its ability to command a majority within the directly elected body, the Lok Sabha. According to Article 75(3) of the Indian Constitution, a Council of Ministers, comprising members of the elected government, bears collective accountability to the Lower House.
