However, the Wayanad MP is likely to participate in the ongoing debate during the early afternoon hours on Wednesday.

According to sources, Rahul Gandhi might be among the initial speakers to participate in the discussion on the no-confidence motion, when the House convenes. The discussion is expected to continue till August 10 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to reply to the motion on the same day.

Sources said that Gandhi’s last-minute withdrawal was part of a strategy, as it was decided that he will speak after some big leaders from the BJP have spoken. They said that this decision was taken as part of a strategy of not exposing Rahul Gandhi to all the attacks, which he might have faced if he had spoken first.
