JJP-BJP Alliance to face Vote of confidence in Haryana
In Haryana, the ruling BJP is facing a no-confidence vote in the legislature today. Two Independent MLAs who formerly supported the government have withdrawn their support, according to the opposition Congress. The exercise, on the other hand, is being seen as a plot to shame the government in the wake of strong criticism of the center’s latest farm bills. The BJP, which is in an alliance with Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janata Party, claims that the government is not in jeopardy.
The Congress motion is likely to mount pressure on the JJP, with the Congress claiming that it is intended to show to the public that the MLAs do not support the cause of the farmers. Members of the JJP have acknowledged that they are being boycotted by farmers in their electoral districts.
Both the BJP and the JJP have imposed a whip, requiring their members of parliament to be available in the House. Kanwar Pal, Chief Whip of the BJP Legislature Party, asked the MLAs to be present in the House at the time of the vote.
The Congress Party also issued a whip. Congress Legislature Party (CLP) Chief Whip Bharat Bhushan Batra asked the MLAs to be present in the House in favor of the non-confidence motion against the Khattar Government.
“Hon’ble Members of the CLP, Haryana, are hereby told that a No-Confidence Motion against the Government will be included in the House’s business on March 10, 2021. “I issue whip, that you must positively ensure your attendance in the House on the 10th of March, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. and accept the vote of no confidence,” Batra wrote in a letter.
Meanwhile, former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has stated that his party, the Congress, intends to introduce several “adjournments” and motions “calling attention” to draw the government’s attention to the various problems that the citizens of Haryana are facing.
“The Congress is planning a vote of no confidence in the administration, as well as a bill to guarantee the Minimum Support Price (MSP), as well as several adjournments and calling attention motions. We’ll look for answers to problems like farmer negligence, rising unemployment, changing domicile laws, rising violence, paper leakage, and liquor and registry scams,” Hooda said.
