As of July 2023, 27 no-confidence motions were moved by the opposition against the government of India, the first being against Jawaharlal Nehru in 1963. However, the highest number of no-confidence motions were faced by Indira Gandhi during her 16-year tenure. India's current prime minister, Narendra Modi is set to face his second no-confidence motion in his nine-year tenure. A no-confidence motion is a test of strength for the government. A government can only function if it proves a majority in Lok Sabha of the Indian Parliament.
