Rule 198 of Lok Sabha lays down the procedure for a motion of no-confidence and it is stipulated that a second motion cannot be tabled by the opposition before six months. But this can be no buffer for the government from fresh ordeal since the July 22 vote is being sought under Rule 184 for "ordinary" motion that entails voting but is distinct from a "no confidence vote". Constitution has no provision for a "vote of confidence" as opposed to a no-confidence motion.
"Theoretically, the opposition can table a motion of no-confidence at any time when the House convenes next after the two-day special session ending on July 22," former Lok Sabha secretary-general Subhash Kashyap told TOI. It will meet for the winter session and could do so again for the first part of the Budget session in 2008 even if only to seek a vote of account ahead of general elections. That means a gruelling season ahead for the government the negotiating skills of whose leaders may be tested severely.
