BJP: No-trust motion, if brought, will boomerang

A day after the state Congress called upon the principal Opposition party BJD to move a no-confidence motion against the BJP government over crimes against women, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari Thursday dismissed talks of such a motion against the BJP government in the state and claimed that it will boomerang and hit the Opposition while leaving the ruling party unscathed.

Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president Bhakta Charan Das had Wednesday said that the BJD should move a no-confidence motion in the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Assembly if the regional party is serious about fighting for the rights of women.

Announcing Congress’ support to the BJD in this regard, Das said, “If the BJD does not bring such a motion, the Congress is ready to make a move, but it should get the regional party’s support.”
