He also criticized PM saying, “Everybody understands and sees the amount of money which goes into the marketing of Prime Minister of India.”
He also said, “When your minister talks of changing the constitution then its an attack on Ambedkar ji and an attack on India. Farmers are being lured with the tall claims of MSP.”

Tejashwi Yadav said, “We might bring it sometime. No-confidence motion is not always to take down the government. Sometimes it’s for making government provide answers to the public. If not in this session, we will try to bring it in the next session.”
Rakesh Singh, BJP MP said, “Manmohan Singh said minorities have the first right on country’s resources. However, PM Modi gave new direction by saying that first right on country’s resources is of the poor. Frustration and desperation are the main reasons behind this No confidence motion.”
We are with the government said Nitish Kumar, CM of Bihar when asked where does JDU stand on No Confidence Motion.
Jayadev Galla, TDP MP, said, “Mr.Modi while campaigning in Andhra Pradesh had said ‘Congress killed the mother & saved the child. Had I have been there, I would have saved the mother too.”

Jayadev added, “It is wrong to say that the issues of Andhra Pradesh are not national issues. AP is also languishing in services and the state has been reduced to an agrarian state after bifurcation. Lack of trust lack priority lack of fairness lack of unbiased approach of BJP are the reasons for moving no confidence motion.”
Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan said voting on ‘No Confidence Motion will take place at 6pm today.
