New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party, is likely to open the debate on the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, August 8, 2023. The no-confidence motion was moved by the Opposition parties on August 5, 2023, and is scheduled to be debated on August 8 and 9.
Gandhi is expected to use his speech to attack the Narendra Modi government on a range of issues, including the economy, unemployment, and corruption. He is also likely to raise the issue of the Pegasus spyware scandal, which has implicated the government in illegal surveillance of journalists, politicians, and activists.
The no-confidence motion is seen as a major test for the Modi government, which is facing increasing criticism over its handling of the economy and other issues. The government is expected to defend its record in power, and it is possible that the debate could become heated.
It is also possible that the no-confidence motion could fail to pass, as the government has a majority in the Lok Sabha. However, even if the motion fails, it is likely to damage the government’s reputation and could lead to further protests and demonstrations.
Gandhi’s speech is likely to be closely watched by the political establishment and the public. It is a chance for him to make a major impact on the political discourse and to set the agenda for the Opposition parties. It is also a chance for him to revive the Congress party, which has been struggling in recent years.

Earlier on Monday, the Government of National Capital Territory (Amendment) Bill 2023 was passed in Rajya Sabha regardless of the opposition collectively calling it unconstitutional. the legislation replaces the ordinance on control of services in the capital and overrides the Supreme Court’s verdict in favour of the elected state government on the matter that gives more power to the lieutenant governor, thus bolstering central government’s hold on Delhi’s administration,
