AP Govt Survive No Confidence Motion - Dec 05,2011
The AP Congress government led by Kiran Kumar Reddy has comfortably defeated a no-confidence motion against it by a margin of 38 votes (160-122)which was moved by Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief Chandrababu Naidu over the issue of farmer suicides in the state.
