Prime Minister Narendra Modi designed his reply to Friday's parliamentary debate on the no-trust motion against his government as a sharp takedown of the Congress that has been attempting to unite opposition parties for the 2019, projecting the party as an unreliable partner that was using the floor test in parliament to test its potential allies. But he reserved his harshest criticism for Congress boss Rahul Gandhi. "This isn't the government's floor test. It is the Congress' floor test for its so-called partners... to get him vetted by others as the coalition's presumptive prime minister," PM Modi said.
