New Delhi: In more problems for Congress on Telangana issue, six party MPs from Seemandhra region today gave notice for moving a no-confidence motion against the Manmohan Singh government.
The members—R Sambasiva Rao, Sabbam Hari, V Arun Kumar, A Saiprathap, L Rajagopal and G V Harshakumar, have written to Speaker Meira Kumar on the issue.
In the letter, they sought permission to move a motion expressing no-confidence in the Union Council of Ministers under Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedures and Conduct of Business in the Lok Sabha.
The plan of the MPs appears to be to embarrass the government on the Telangana issue by seeking support of those opposed to the division of Andhra Pradesh or creation of smaller states.
Any move to bring a no-confidence motion requires the support of some 50 odd members, ten per cent of the membership of the House.
