Modi wins, Rahul winks as Lok Sabha rejects no-confidence motion

The no-confidence motion pushed by the Opposition against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government was rejected by the Lok Sabha on Friday.

The victory for the NDA came after an action-packed session in Parliament that witnessed several searing speeches by both the leaders of the opposition parties and the BJP.

The results were put out after a 12-hour heated debate that saw both the government and the Opposition trade barbs. The highlight of the day, however, was Rahul Gandhi’s impromptu hug to PM Modi after his blistering speech.
