Kolkata: The BJP
Sunday said the Trinamool Congress did not have enough numbers to
bring a no-confidence motion to oust the Congress-led central
government, and that the party was yet to decide whether to
support the move.
"What is the use of bringing the motion if it gets defeated. The
Trinamool doesn't have the numbers. Their leadership will have to
decide how far they can go. All parties need to carefully chalk
out the plan," senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar
Joshi said here.
"Numbers are important. If the motion gets defeated, then the
government will relax for the next six months as you cannot bring
another no-confidence motion during that period. We need to plan
well," he said.
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Saturday announced that
her party would move a no-confidence motion on the first day of
the winter session of parliament Nov 22 and appealed to all
parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Left, to
support the move.
"Mamataji telephoned Sushma Swaraj (BJP leader) to seek support
for the move. We will take a decision on that only after a
discussion with our party leaders and the representatives of the
National Democratic Alliance (NDA)," Joshi said.
Sushma Swaraj is in Mumbai to attend Shiv Sena chief Bal
Thackeray's funeral. The BJP will take a call on Mamata Banerjee's
call after the BJP leader returns to Delhi, according to Joshi.
He said the BJP was the first party to oppose the economic
reforms, including FDI in retail, initiated by the Congress-led
United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, and the party will
do its bit to support the opposition's effort to bring the
government down.
"We were the first to start the movement against the government on
FDI. It is, therefore, a question of others joining us rather then
us joining them," Joshi added.
