Opposition open to no-confidence motion against Modi government: Congress
New Delhi, July 2: The Congress on Monday indicated that the opposition could bring a no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government in the forthcoming monsoon session of Parliament, saying that there were many issues on which such a collective decision can be taken.
"I do not know in what form we will attack the government. But, we can corner the government on several issues related to the people," said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
"Jammu and Kashmir, weak economy, unemployment, plight of farmers and corruption...
"So, the government should be prepared for a no-confidence motion on the basis of any of these issues, if there is a collective decision," he added.
Singhvi also said that his party will expose the government on how it stalled the parliamentary proceedings during the budget session.
Replying to a query on Interpol issuing a red corner notice (RCN) against fugitive diamond jeweller Nirav Modi, Singhvi said: "We were surprised that after seven months of drum-beating, Red Corner Notice has been issued today.
"It would be a tremendous RCN that took about seven months. They blew the trumpet for so long that they were soon going to bring him back. But today, just the RCN was issued. One should know that this is just the beginning of the entire process."

Power struggle in ruling Cong has 'created massive confusion' in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.
He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.
Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.
This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.
The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.
"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.
According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
