22 July 2008 New Delhi : UPA Govt Wins trust Vote with 275 votes in support, 256 votes against and 10 Abstentions.

     The results were announced after nearly an hour when officials corrected the initial figures which showed 253 votes in favour of the motion, 232 against and 2 abstentions in a total vote of 487.

     Four BJP members, including former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, were permitted to vote from the inner lobby of the House through slips on account of their ill-health.

     Dr Manmohan Singh on Tuesday became the seventh prime minister in nearly three decades to win a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha.

     The Congress had faced the trust vote 17 times in the past but has not lost even one.
