A discussion on no-confidence motion is underway in Parliament against Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government over special category status issue to Andhra Pradesh. The Telegu Desam Party moved the motion on July 18.
On July 19, it was reported that the Shiv Sena will vote against the no-confidence motion. The party had issued a whip to its MPs directing them to support the central government.
