India’s ruling party to face no-confidence vote, amid ongoing mob violence

CNN  

New Delhi CNN — India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is set to face a no-confidence vote in Parliament on Friday in the wake of a spate of mob attacks against minorities and high profile rape cases. The vote is the first no-confidence motion to be approved by India’s lower house in 15 years, though it is unlikely to trouble the BJP, who continue to hold a significant parliamentary majority. Taking the floor on Friday, Rahul Gandhi, president of the main opposition Indian National Congress party, launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s failure to address the rise in violence and lawlessness gripping parts of India. “But the opposition parties will need to stand strong” if they are to have any reasonable chance at breaking the grip of Modi’s coalition in the upcoming election, added Jerath.
