AIADMK, Naveen Patnaik's BJD Likely To Help PM Modi In No-Trust Vote | Read
Hectic efforts are on to forms ranks on both sides of the political divide ahead of tomorrow's no-confidence motion against the government. Given the NDA's sheer numbers in parliament's lower house, there is little doubt about a comfortable outcome for the government. The big question will be the decision of fence-sitters in view of next year's general elections. Sources in Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK and Naveen Patnaik's BJD indicated that the parties will abstain from voting, which, however, will help the government. The other party expected to abstain is Telangana Rashtra Samithi of K Chandrashekar Rao.
