The RJD will support the Telugu Desam Party's proposed no-confidence motion against the Modi government in the Parliament's Monsoon Session, a confidant of Lalu Prasad said today.

The Monsoon Session begins tomorrow and will end on August 10.

"Our leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav is currently out of the state. He would inform party leaders in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha about the decision to support the motion," MLA Bhola Yadav said here.

A TDP delegation met Prasad at his residence and said the RJD chief has given his consent about backing the TDP's proposed motion.

Asked whether the RJD has committed its support for the motion, TDP MP Mohan Rao said, "Lalu ji said his party has been extending his support to the TDP since the days of N T Rama Rao and will continue to support Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu."
