During a gathering that included Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and other senior party members, Prime Minister Narendra Modi indirectly taunted the Congress party, stating, “This is Samarpan Bhav (service) that from two (MPs) we are sitting here (in power).

The PM’s remarks alluded to the Congress’s decline in seats from 400 to 40 in previous elections, without explicitly naming the party.
Meanwhile, amid the ongoing deadlock over Manipur, the Congress party has filed a no-confidence motion against the Modi government.
Although the motion, supported by the INDIA coalition of opposition parties, is expected to be defeated in the Lok Sabha due to the government’s significant majority, its primary objective is to compel Prime Minister Modi to address the situation in Manipur.
The ethnic clashes in Manipur have been a major cause of the continuous logjam in Parliament since the beginning of the Monsoon Session on July 20. The situation escalated further when a disturbing video of two women being paraded naked by a mob in Manipur surfaced just a day before the session, sparking nationwide outrage.
Additionally, a separate no-confidence motion has been filed by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), which is not part of the ‘I.N.D.I.A’ coalition.
