With the Opposition moving a no confidence motion against his government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's prediction in 2019 for such a move in 2023 has gone viral on social media. Today, the opposition parties moved a no confidence motion against the central government for a statement from Prime Minister Modi on the ongoing tension in Manipur.
The Opposition had brought in a similar no-confidence motion against the central government in 2018. Replying to this move in Lok Sabha, the prime minister in February 2019, just before the general elections, had mockingly told the Opposition parties that they should prepare to table a similar exercise in 2023 as well.
