New Delhi: As the proceedings started this morning in Lok Sabha, where the no-confidence notice by the Telugu Desam Party was to come up for admission, members of Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK rushed to the Well of the House demanding a resolution of the Cauvery water issue. Telangana's TRS followed with a set of demands. Within minutes, the House was adjourned. A repeat performance followed when the house reconvened at noon, leading to an adjournment for the rest of the day, which put a stop to any progress on the no-confidence motion.
The Telugu Desam Party has now indicated that the AIADMK protest in Lok Sabha could have been "stage-managed".
The TDP's pitch for a no-confidence motion had the support of most opposition parties, including the Congress, Left and the Trinamool Congress. Despite lacking the numbers to pose a serious challenge to the government, the parties had welcomed the opportunity to "send a message". But the AIADMK has said it ha no interest in the no-confidence motion. Last year, after PM Modi's visit to Tamil Nadu, there was speculation of the BJP wooing the party to gain a foothold in the state.
The proceedings in the Lok Sabha have been continuously disrupted since parliament reconvened for the budget session on March 5. The notice for a no-confidence motion, moved by both TDP and its arch-rival YSR Congress, could not be taken up last week due to the protests.
