Ahead of the no-confidence motion discussion in the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Tuesday said that Parliament runs on discussion and not on numbers, adding that the Bharatiya Janata Party keeps boasting about their numbers in the House.
“Parliament runs on discussing issues and not on numbers. This is how the Parliament functions. How many numbers did Atal Bihari Vajpayee had when Jawaharlal Nehru was the Prime Minister in the Parliament? But Vajpayee ji used to discuss. We wanted PM Modi to come to Parliament to talk about Manipur. We forced him to come to Parliament. This is not a game about numbers,” Chowdhury said.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should ask for the resignation of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh over his failure to control the situation in the state.
“Both Chief Minister and Union Home Minister have failed to control the situation in the state. PM Modi should ask for his CM’s resignation. We look forward to what Rahul Gandhi has to say as he knows about the ground situation in Manipur,” he said.
The Narendra Modi-led NDA Government will face a no-confidence motion in Parliament. The no-confidence motion was moved by the opposition parties of INDIA bloc and accepted by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
