NEW DELHI - Dismissing any threat in wake of plans by some anti-Telangana Lok Sabha MPs, including those from Congress, to bring a no-confidence motion, Union Minister Kamal Nath on Dec 11 said the government has the numbers and the general elections will be held in May as per schedule. He also said that so far only four members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have given notice for the motion on which the Speaker Meira Kumar will take a decision as per the rules. “There is some specualtion that elections may be held earlier. This is absolutely wrong. The UPA government will complete its full term and elections will be held as per its schedule in May. “The government has the numbers and any no-confidence motion will not succeed...The government has majority. So the question of any no-confidence motion succeeding does not arise,” the Minister said. (PTI)
