              Trinamool to bring no-trust motion against government 
              "It is very important for the sake of the country that this 
              government falls and so we have taken a unanimous decision to 
              bring a non-confidence motion against the minority UPA 
              government," Banerjee said

              Kolkata: The BJP 
              Sunday said the Trinamool Congress did not have enough numbers to 
              bring a no-confidence motion to oust the Congress-led central 
              government, and that the party was yet to decide whether to 
              support the move.
 "What is the use of bringing the motion if it gets defeated. The 
              Trinamool doesn't have the numbers. Their leadership will have to 
              decide how far they can go. All parties need to carefully chalk 
              out the plan," senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar 
              Joshi said here.
 
 "Numbers are important. If the motion gets defeated, then the 
              government will relax for the next six months as you cannot bring 
              another no-confidence motion during that period. We need to plan 
              well," he said.
 
 Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Saturday announced that 
              her party would move a no-confidence motion on the first day of 
              the winter session of parliament Nov 22 and appealed to all 
              parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Left, to 
              support the move.
 
 "Mamataji telephoned Sushma Swaraj (BJP leader) to seek support 
              for the move. We will take a decision on that only after a 
              discussion with our party leaders and the representatives of the 
              National Democratic Alliance (NDA)," Joshi said.
 
 Sushma Swaraj is in Mumbai to attend Shiv Sena chief Bal 
              Thackeray's funeral. The BJP will take a call on Mamata Banerjee's 
              call after the BJP leader returns to Delhi, according to Joshi.
 
 He said the BJP was the first party to oppose the economic 
              reforms, including FDI in retail, initiated by the Congress-led 
              United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, and the party will 
              do its bit to support the opposition's effort to bring the 
              government down.
 
 "We were the first to start the movement against the government on 
              FDI. It is, therefore, a question of others joining us rather then 
              us joining them," Joshi added.
