“The Bharatiya Janata Party should return Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha membership to him. Rahul Gandhi will take part in the ‘no-confidence’ motion against the Modi government’s ‘anti-people’s policies,” said Congress leader Rajput.
According to sources, the discussion on the no-confidence motion is expected to begin once it is moved on August 8, and is likely to continue throughout the next two days, that is, August 9 and 10.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to reply to the discussion on the motion on August 10.
The agenda of business for August 9 and 10, however, is yet to be announced officially.

However, later on the same day, official sources had said that the discussion on the no-confidence motion is likely to be taken up between August 8, 9 and 10.
Though it was not officially confirmed at that time.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi may reply to the discussion on August 10, sources had said.
Birla on July 26 had informed the Lok Sabha that he had received the no-confidence motion from Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi under Rule 193.
