Hyderabad: Stating that defeat of the Opposition-sponsored no-trust motion was a certainty, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), a key ally of National Democratic Alliance (NDA), on August 18 said the people would 'teach a fitting lesson to Congress at appropriate time for its politically motivated actions'.

"People have seen through the Opposition's games. It (Congress) has been stalling proceedings (of the House) on trivial issues and has brought up this issue (CVC report) with political motives," TDP supremo and Andhra Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said.

The TDP had decided to vote against the no-confidence motion to 'expose political designs of Congress', Naidu said while addressing a training programme for his party leaders.

"Under the guise of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) which is headed by a Congressman, the Opposition party has been obstructing the proceedings of Parliament every day. It brought forward a no- trust motion unilaterally," he said.

Despite Central Vigilance Commissioner making it clear that he did not probe Defence purchases during Kargil conflict the Congress kept harping on the issue for political gains, the TDP chief said adding that people would teach a fitting lesson to the Opposition party at right time.

"We will expose the Congress and oppose the motion. We will co-operate with the government in this regard," he asserted.

Naidu, whose TDP is providing crucial outside support to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led central coalition, dismissed as 'non-issue' the furore over centre's refusal to part with a Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) report to PAC seeking to examine defence purchases during Kargil conflict.
