Congress Submits Notice For No-Confidence Motion Against BJP-Led Odisha Government

In the monsoon session of the Odisha Assembly, the Congress moved on a no-confidence motion against the BJP-led state government for its alleged all-round failure, particularly for being unable to check the growing crimes against women and fertiliser shortage in the state, NDTV reported.

The decision was taken during a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party. CLP leader Ramachandra Kadam said Congress had raised the issue of growing crimes against women even during the last Assembly session but instead of discussing the issue, all the 14 MLAs of the party were suspended.

Condemning the murder of the missing lady traffic constable whose body was exhumed on Wednesday from a forested area at Ghatagaon in Keonjhar, Das said the incident has again exposed the failure of the government, NDTV said.

The Congress party demanded that they seek reply from Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, who holds the home portfolio, on this issue.

Earlier on Wednesday, the opposition Congress had announced to bring a no confidence motion against the BJP-led state government during the monsoon session of the Odisha Assembly, which began from Thursday.

While briefing the media persons, CLP leader Rama Chandra Kadam had said "The state government has failed to act on all the pressing issues, such as the safety of women, maintaining law and order, problems faced by farmers, dalits and tribals and OBCs. So, we decided to bring a no-confidence motion against this state government in this assembly session," as reported by NDTV.
