Some Opposition parties that are part of the INDIA alliance are likely to move a notice of no-confidence motion against the government in the Lok Sabha, sources said on Tuesday amid plans by the Modi government to push through legislative business in an attempt to end the logjam in Parliament over the Manipur crisis.

A proposal to submit a no-confidence notice was discussed at a meeting of the constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) on Tuesday morning, reports PTI. The sources said after weighing various options to force Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak in Parliament on the situation in strife-torn Manipur, it was decided that this would be an effective way to compel the government to initiate a discussion on the issue.

The Opposition strategy to corner the government on Manipur will continue in the Rajya Sabha as well, the sources said.

BJP sources said the government wasn't expecting the Opposition to back down from its demand that Prime Minister Modi speak in Parliament on the Manipur issue. "Hence, the

government is understood to be planning to settle its legislative work, which means that if a bill has to be passed amid an uproar, it will be done," said a BJP leader, according to news television reports.

Prime Minister Modi chaired a parliamentary meeting of the BJP on Tuesday morning where he tore into the Opposition and criticised it for "misleading" the people of the country by using "INDIA" as a name to represent the combine of various parties.

In his address to the BJP parliamentary party, Modi said the Opposition is frustrated and disappointed and its conduct shows that it has made up its mind to remain in the Opposition, sources quoting him said.

He also expressed confidence that the BJP will come to power after the 2024 polls with people's support, asserting that India will become the third largest economy in his government's next tenure.
