Lucknow, April 27 (Inditop.com) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati said her party would support the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government over the cut motion expected to be moved in the Lok Sabha Tuesday.
“We should have voted against the UPA government but it would strengthen communal forces to attain power in the centre. Taking this into account, we have opted to support the government,” she said.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as well as the Left parties and some others are set to move cut motions in the Lok Sabha on the budget proposals to hike prices of fuels and fertilisers but the treasury is confident of passing the test of strength.
When budget proposals are presented in parliament for approval, a lawmaker or a party can question specific allocations with a cut motion. If it is carried in the house, it amounts to a vote of no confidence and the government is obliged to quit.
