New Delhi: The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) says it will not Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's no-confidence motion against the Congress-led UPA government. Mamata's party is planning to move a no-confidence motion on November 22, which is the first day of winter session.
"We are talking to other political parties. The general consensus that is likely to come up is not to bring bring a no-confidence motion but a move that can rein in the UPA 2 government and force it to listen on all the anti-India policies," said CPM General Secretary Prakash Karat.
Mamata has been seeking the support of opposition parties for the no-confidence motion, which she says is being moved as the UPA government has been following several anti-poor policies including FDI in retail.
Meanwhile, another Left Front constituent, the CPI, has said that it was not the party's job to bail out the Central government. "If Mamata brings in the no-confidence motion, we will not bail out the government," senior CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta said on Monday. But Dasgupta said that Mamata had not spoken to the CPI on the matter and added that if she managed to get the support of 50 MPs required to introduce the no-confidence motion then his party will not try to save the UPA government.
