Congress MP initiates no-confidence motion with vociferous questions to PM Modi; Details here
New Delhi: Congress Member of Parliament Gaurav Gogoi has vociferously questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's conspicuous silence regarding the ongoing crisis in Manipur, urging the Prime Minister to visit the violence-affected state alongside his team. Gogoi's impassioned address came as he initiated a no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha.
During his speech, Gaurav Gogoi raised pertinent questions directed at the government, specifically addressing the issue of changing chief ministers in states like Gujarat, Uttarakhand, and Tripura, and inquiring why a similar change was not implemented in Manipur. He underscored the deep divisions between different communities within Manipur, attributing these divisions to what he deemed the government's divisive political strategies.
Gogoi expressed the opposition's collective frustration over Prime Minister Modi's silence on the Manipur issue. He emphasized that the opposition's decision to bring forward the no-confidence motion was born out of compulsion, driven by their quest for justice and accountability regarding the Manipur crisis.
The Congress MP further criticized the Prime Minister for his prolonged silence and demanded answers to three key questions: Why has Prime Minister Modi not visited Manipur thus far? Why did it take nearly 80 days for the Prime Minister to address the situation in Manipur, and why was his statement on the matter limited to a mere 30 seconds? Additionally, Gogoi questioned the government's inaction in replacing the Manipur Chief Minister despite the tumultuous situation.
Gaurav Gogoi also made allegations against the Manipur Chief Minister, asserting that while the Chief Minister attributed the violence to drug-related issues, instances of alleged interference in the arrest of a drug lord by the Chief Minister's office were raised. Gogoi accused the drug lord in question of being affiliated with the BJP's autonomous district council.
In his comprehensive address, Gogoi touched on various topics, ranging from rising prices and crony capitalism to scrutinizing Adani's activities and assessing the government's management of the Covid-19 crisis.

TMC will be voted back to power in Bengal: Tejashwi Yadav
Patna (PTI): Leader of Opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Tuesday exuded confidence that the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC will again be voted to power in West Bengal.
Yadav returned to Patna after a four-day poll campaign in West Bengal.
“The atmosphere there is euphoric and people want to bring Didi (Mamata Banerjee) back to power. I am fully confident that the TMC will win the election,” he told reporters here.
He said that a large number of people from Bihar living in West Bengal share a lot of love and respect for Mamata Banerjee.
Responding to BJP’s allegations that the TMC had “ruined” West Bengal during its tenure, the RJD leader said the “entire country has been ruined under the Narendra Modi-led government”.
“I want to ask one question to Modi ji – you have been prime minister for more than 11 years, tell me one thing you have done for Bengal,” Yadav said.
The first phase of elections to the 294-member West Bengal assembly was held on April 23, while the second phase will take place on April 29. Votes will be counted on May 4.
