In one of the biggest challenges in four years, the central government will have to prove its superiority in Lok Sabha. The no-confidence motion was moved by the Telegu Desam Party (TDP) on Wednesday.

In a reduced house size of 532, the BJP has 273 Members of Parliament in the Lok Sabha (excluding Sumitra Mahajan), which already is already above the magical mark of 267.

Janata Dal-United (JD-U), The Shiromani Akali Dal, Lok Janshakti Pary and Apna Dal are among those who have already decided to back the Narendra Modi-led government in defeating the Opposition’s motion.
