The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has reportedly pulled out of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a week after party chief and Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N Chandrababu Naidu announced his decision to exit the central government over the issue of special status for Andhra Pradesh.
The TDP has 16 MPs in the central government, and the news agency ANI said the TDP may also pass a no-confidence motion against the Centre. By doing so, it would be lending support to the no-confidence motion against the NDA moved by rival Andhra Pradesh party, the YSR Congress.
Special category status to Andhra Pradesh: YSR Congress to move no-trust motion, TDP vows support
HIGHLIGHTS :
***********
The YSR Congress has submitted a notice for a no-trust motion against the Modi government
Andhra Pradesh CM and TDP boss N Chandrababu Naidu have announced they will support the no-trust motion.
The YSR Congress alone - with its tally of nine MPs - would be well short of the 50 nods required for the motion.
NEW DELHI/VIJAYWADA: The YSR Congress submitted a notice for a no-confidence motion against the Modi government for its refusal to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh, the first such move in the tenure of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, setting the stage for engrossing politics on Friday morning in the Lok Sabha.
Andhra Pradesh chief minister and Telugu Desam Party boss N Chandrababu Naidu immediately announced support for the motion and YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy is understood to have sought the backing of other opposition parties.
His tally of nine MPs is well short of the 50 required for the motion to be admitted and even TDP’s 16 MPs will not be enough for the purpose.
Political sources, however, did not rule out the possibility of non-NDA parties “fishing in troubled waters” and using the opportunity to set up a debate which, despite the localised issue listed, may allow a wider attack on the Modi government.
The YSR Congress move also seems intended to outgun TDP on the state issue with Naidu having withdrawn his ministers from the Centre.
“We are ready to support the no-confidence motion against the Union government moved by any party if it means discussing many pending issues in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2016,” Naidu announced in the assembly on Thursday.
With both parties competing to raise the alleged “injustice” to Andhra Pradesh over the terms of the state’s reorganisation for the creation of Telangana, the motion will need the support of other parties like Congress, the Left, NCP, Trinamool Congress and Samajwadi Party. This is as yet not clear as the motion deals with a state issue and the NDA, even without the TDP, has a very large buffer in the Lok Sabha.
According to procedure, Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan would ask the YSR Congress floor leader if the party was pressing admission of its motion, in which case at least 50 MPs would need to stand up and support the move. The House needs to be in order for this process to take place and this will require the cooperation of groups, such as AIADMK, that have been disrupting proceedings.
TDP and YSR Congress have been agitating in both Houses over the special status demand and the former has even pulled its ministers out of the central government.
YSR Congress MP Y V Subba Reddy gave the notice to the Lok Sabha secretariat for including the motion in Friday’s list of business. Government sources said the notice would need to be examined but would not make much headway unless a significant section of the opposition supported it.
The protests, along with those of AIADMK on the constitution of a Cauvery board and other opposition parties demanding the admission of an adjournment motion on the PNB scam, have ensured that Parliament has barely conducted business.
Jaganmohan Reddy asserted that if the Centre remained reluctant to grant special category status to the state, then all MPs of his party will resign on April 6.
With BJP’s 275 MPs (including two nominated MPs) in Lok Sabha and the party enjoying support of its allies, any no-confidence motion is likely to be defeated.
NOTE :
5 Reasons Why Chandrababu Naidu Pulled Out Of NDA Government :-
Hyderabad: The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu today pulled out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's coalition government over special status and financial assistance to Andhra Pradesh. The TDP is set to bring a no-confidence separately against the Centre.
1.Mr Naidu has been furious with the centre for not granting special category status to Andhra Pradesh as promised after Telangana was carved out of it in 2014. Special status will mean a large infusion of central funds to help with the state government's plans to develop its new capital Amravati.
2.The centre had turned down Mr Naidu's demand for special category status to Andhra Pradesh saying the nomenclature had been done away with, except for hill states and states in the Northeast. But Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had promised the state funds equivalent to what a special category state gets.
3.Mr Naidu alleged Mr Jaitley suggested TDP was "asking for money at the expense of the country's Defence Budget... Jaitley spoke like we asked for all the money. We felt insulted."
4.The TDP faces extreme pressure in Andhra Pradesh ahead of assembly elections and the national election next year, with opposition parties like the YSR Congress accusing Mr Naidu of failing the state by not ensuring special status for it as a partner at the centre.
5.The aggressive attack on TDP and the YSR Congress by Telugu actor-turned-Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan at an event in Guntur on Wednesday, seems to have further widened the gap between TDP and NDA. "I am not afraid of the centre unlike Chandrababu Naidu or Jagan Mohan Reddy," Mr Kalyan said
