No Confidence motion – A desperate attempt against PM will be defeated
Saturday, 24 March 2018
Ranil Wickremesinghe, the most popular Prime Minister, has made fellow politicians nervous if he is allowed to continue.
Famous Indian Prime Ministers have faced the crisis when they became popular and a risk to fellow politicians. Lal Bahadur Shastri and Narasimha Rao (thrice each), Morarji Desai (twice) and Jawahar Lal Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee (once each). All the no-confidence motions have been defeated except once when Prime Minister Morarji Desai resigned during the discussions on 12 July 1979.
