NEW DELHI: Claiming that the UPA Government has been reduced to a minority, BJP leader L K Advani today demanded that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should immediately seek a vote of confidence in Parliament.
"The moment the Left parties withdraw support to the Government, it is incumbent on the prime minister to seek a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha," he told reporters here.
"As the UPA is now a minority ... the BJP demands that the government must immediately now call the Parliament into session and take it fully into confidence," Advani said at a joint press conference along with Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Jaswant Singh.
Advani, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, accused the Congress of indulging in a trade-off with Samajwadi Party for the Government's survival.
If the government fails to seek a confidence vote, the BJP will demand President Pratibha Patil to direct the prime minister to do so, he said.
"The Government has been reduced to a charade .... It has lost moral legitimacy (to govern) .... For survival, Government seems ready to trade off anything," the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate told the crowded press conference here.
