Overview
- The Congress moved the motion alleging unconstitutional formation and 'vote theft' before walking out over what it called an unsatisfactory reply from Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
- In the absence of the Opposition, Speaker Harvinder Kalyan put the motion to a voice vote that rejected it after a roughly five-hour debate that ran until about 10:15 pm.
- Assembly numbers favored the government, with the BJP at 48 MLAs including the Speaker, the Congress at 37, the INLD at two, and three Independents supporting the ruling party.
- Saini dismissed the allegations and pointed to declines in murders, dacoities, riots and robberies, nearly 200,000 merit-based government jobs, and a projected 2025–26 fiscal deficit of 2.67% of GSDP.
- This was the first no-confidence motion faced by the Saini administration, echoing earlier Congress attempts against previous BJP governments that were also defeated.
