No Confidence Motion: Should Government Worry? Numbers Explained

The Congress party, as part of the newly formed INDIA opposition alliance, along with Telangana's Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), have filed two separate no-confidence motions against the Narendra Modi-led government in Lok Sabha. This move comes amidst the ongoing parliamentary impasse over the ethnic clashes in Manipur that have left over 125 people dead, thousands displaced and new tales of unspeakable horrors each day. The conflict, and the government's inability to end it even after three months of violence, has been a key reason for the continuous logjam in both houses of parliament since the monsoon session began on July 20.
