A 5-Point Guide On Understanding No-Confidence Motion:
A no-confidence motion is a parliamentary motion which is moved in the Lok Sabha against the entire council of ministers, stating that they are no longer fit to hold positions of responsibility due to their inadequacy or failure to carry out their obligations.
When a no-confidence motion is moved in the Lok Sabha, the Speaker reads it out to the House. The motion then needs to be supported by at least 50 members in the House to be accepted.
A discussion day is then decided by the Speaker and the ruling party is required to prove its trust by answering the queries raised during the discussion.
The Speaker then puts out the question in front of the House and the House's decision can be put across through a "voice vote" or "division of votes".
If the motion is accepted by a majority, then the ruling government has to resign.
