New Delhi, Mar 16: Hours after Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and AIADMK of Tamil Nadu virtually
played spoilsport to the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha on Friday, even as
the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) tried to reach out to K
Chandrashekhar Rao led TRS, the Telangana ruling party ruled out supporting any
such move.
A senior TRS leader said, while final decision on these
political issues are decided by the party chief Mr Rao, so far the decision is
"we will not support any such motion, because it is motivated by political
consideration and gimmick".
Even, the Tamil Nadu ruling party AIADMK also did not seem to approve the idea of a no-trust motion against the Centre at this juncture.
"There were issues after the division of Andhra Pradesh. If there were issues all these years, then why were not they raised? This shows merely an opportunistic nature", Tamil Nadu Minister D Jayakumar said on TDP's decision to quit NDA and move no-trust motion.
Earlier, the TDP said it does not grudge the decision of the two Southern parties, including TRS to raise their regional issues and will talk to them to support the no-trust motion against Narendra Modi government.
"We will talk to TRS and AIADMK leaders on the issue of no-trust motion as we want a discussion in Parliament on how the assurance given to the state of Andhra Pradesh was not implemented", TDP leader Thota Narasimhan said here.
These comments from the leaders of TDP and TRS come after the House could not take up the motion as pandemonium prevailed and the Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said, the headcount of the supporters of the motion cannot be done when the house is not in the order.
The No-Confidence motion in the Lok Sabha can be accepted only if there is support of at least 50 members. The TDP has 16 Members and the YSR congress has nine MPs in the Lok Sabha.
The developments also indicate towards bitter political battle emerging in the Southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana where both the Chief Ministers N Chandrababu Naidu and Mr Rao are 'Telugu speaking' leaders and have had love-hate relationship in the past as well.
In fact, the TRS protest in Lok Sabha was led among others by K Kavitha, daughter TRS chief, as she carried placards along with her party colleagues and raised slogans demanding raise in reservation quota for Muslims and for linking MGNREGA scheme to the farm sector.
The TDP leadership decision to part ways with NDA was also seen as an attempt to retain the support base among the Muslims in Andhra Pradesh.
Few days back Telangana Chief Minister had also spoken in favour formation of an effective 'federal front' of regional parties and found the idea going down well with other regional players like Mamata Banerjee of Trinamool Congress.
Besides dealing with the TRS chief and his political machinations, the TDP supremo Mr Naidu is also seen as acting under pressure at times as the no-trust motion of TDP on Friday came a day after Jagan Mohan Reddy led YSR Congress Party had moved their no-confidence motion against the government.
As soon as the Speaker said she was duty -bound to take up the No-Confidence Motion, several Left,
Congress, Samajwadi Party and Trinamool Congress members and Asauddin Owaisi of AIMIM were up on their feet rendering support to the motion moved by the two Andhra-based parties.
But, Ms Mahajan said the House should be in order to take up the motion. She requested the slogan shouting AIADMK and Telengana Rashtra Samithi members who were in the Well, to return to their seats.
As the request from the Chair did not yield desired result, the Speaker adjourned the House till Monday. UNI
