Govt aims to isolate Congress over no-confidence motion against Om Birla
•Government plans to politically corner Congress by drawing smaller Opposition parties away from their stance on the no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
•Debate and voting on the no-confidence motion against Birla are scheduled for March 9.
•Opinion within the Opposition is split, with some leaders advocating a less confrontational approach; Trinamool Congress did not sign the notice.
•Congress leader states they will not shy away from parliamentary tools, emphasizing a proper discussion without the Speaker in the Chair to highlight partisan functioning.
•BJP sees an opportunity to deepen divisions within the Opposition, reaching out to smaller parties and individual MPs, portraying the motion as 'entirely a Congress agenda'.
