Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on September 27, 2022, tabled confidence motion in the ongoing session of the State Assembly.
The session has been extended till October 3.
Noisy scenes were witnessed in the Assembly as Congress MLAs shouted slogans when the Chief Minister was to bring confidence motion. The House was adjourned multiple times.
The leader of Opposition Pratap Singh Bajwa said that tabling confidence motion was challenging Governor's power, which is condemnable. The two BJP MLAs wakled out against the confidence motion.
After moving the Motion of Confidence, Mr. Mann accused the Congress of supporting BJP's "Operation Lotus" alleging that its MLAs ran away from discussion in the House.
"The Congress is in such a situation that nobody wants to take over as its president," he said, taking a jibe at the party over the political crisis in Rajasthan where MLAs loyal to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot did not meet central observers of the party.
He also attacked the BJP, saying the saffron party feels only they should be in power everywhere.
