Amid
the ongoing farmers' stir against the three central agriculture laws, the
BJP-JJP combine ruling in Haryana and the main opposition Congress have issued
whip for the no-confidence motion of the latter in the state Legislative
Assembly against an 'anti-farmer' government on Wednesday.
Even
protesting farm union leaders have urged the people and legislators, especially
the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), to lobby their representatives in the assembly
to support the motion.
Leader of
Opposition and two-time Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda said the no-confidence
motion would help clearing the picture that "who are support the cause of
farmers and who are not".
Hooda
said the no-confidence motion was required as the government has lost public
confidence and taking anti-people decisions.
The
motion was moved by Hooda and signed by 23 Congress MLAs. It was approved by
Speaker Gian Chand Gupta on March 5 for discussion.
The JJP
has also been facing criticism within the party too for not walking out of the
alliance on the issue of farmers and 'clinging to power'.
In an
alliance, the JJP had extended support to the BJP, which won 40 seats in the
Assembly polls in 2019, six short of the majority mark.
Bharatiya
Kisan Union chief Gurnam Singh Charuni said the no-confidence motion against
the government was crucial.
In a
video message, he said: "Residents of the state should protest in front of
the residences of legislators, who have been supporting the state government.
They should warn the leaders that they would face social and political boycott
if they continued to support the laws."
The
current strength of the 90-member assembly is 88 members with the resignation
of INLD's Abhay Chautala and disqualification of Congress' Pradeep Chaudhary
after he was sentenced to three-year imprisonment.
The
BJP-JJP alliance has a majority with 50 legislators.
