A major political crisis unfolds as rival factions battle over the allegiance of parliamentarians. The ruling coalition group claims the support of seven opposition parliamentarians, while the opposition asserts its flock remains intact with five loyalists. To bypass anti-defection laws, the defecting group requires at least six members to reach the two-thirds majority mark out of nine.
Despite claims of imminent defections and alleged financial offers of fifteen crore rupees, several opposition parliamentarians have publicly denied switching sides. The defecting group has yet to approach the lower house speaker with an official letter, leading to speculation about their actual numerical strength. Negotiations reportedly continue behind closed doors as the opposition holds emergency meetings to prevent a split.
The situation remains highly fluid ahead of the upcoming party foundation day.
