TMC does not figures for No-Trust motion: Speaker

November 22, 2012 12:51

The TMC, which broke away from the UPA2 in September, has 19 members in the Lok Sabha, and Mamata has been harnessing support (even with her arch rival the CPI(M)) for a no-trust motion on FDI in retail. The Speaker says the TMC does not have the numbers. The TMC needs 50 MPs to move the no-trust vote.

The Lok Sabha has been adjourned till 2 pm. This is the third time that the Lok Sabha has been adjourned today. The BJP demands discussion on FDI in retail in Lok Sabha under rule which entails voting.
