Khattar wins no-trust motion, moved by Congress, in Haryana





The Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana defeated the no-confidence motion moved by the Congress in the state assembly today. 

The ruling BJP-JJP alliance had 55 votes, the opposition scraped up 32 votes. 

The Congress had moved the motion, claiming two Independent MLAs supporting the government have withdrawn support to the government.

Touching upon the issue of farmers who are protesting against the Centre’s new farm laws, former chief minister and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the situation is such that ruling dispensation MLAs cannot even visit their constituencies.

Haryana’s Education and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kanwar Pal hit out at the Opposition, saying they were misleading farmers and doing politics in their name.

He gave details of several steps which have been taken by the government for the welfare of farmers.

In the 90-member Haryana Assembly, currently having an effective strength of 88 members, the ruling BJP has 40 members, the JJP 10 and the Congress 30. Seven are Independents, five of whom are supporting the government, while one member is of the Haryana Lokhit Party, who has also extended support to the government.
