Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati said on Monday that it would have been better if the Uttar Pradesh Governor’s speech had gone away from tradition and been genuine and a little enthusiastic in the broader public interest, including the development of the state and the upliftment of the entire society.
Mayawati wrote on ‘X’, “The budget session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly started today with the parliamentary tradition of the Governor addressing the joint session of the Legislature, but it would have been better if his speech, moving away from tradition, had been genuine and a little enthusiastic in the broader public interest, including the development of the state and the upliftment of the entire society.”
He said, “In fact, crores of people from all sections of society across Uttar Pradesh are suffering from the wrong policies and activities of the government.” They are facing many types of difficult family difficulties due to poverty and unemployment etc. But most of all they are worried about their life, property and religion, towards which the Governor should have drawn the attention of the government so that the people of the state as well as the opposition get some reassurance. Due to this not happening, opposition slogans continued to be raised during the Governor’s address and there was ruckus.
BSP said that the lack of details in the Governor’s address about fulfilling the big claims, assurances, announcements and promises etc. related to public interest and public welfare of the BJP government is worrying for the people, which would be appropriate to be adjusted in the upcoming budget speech. Addressing the joint meeting of both houses of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature on the first day of the budget session, Governor Anandiben Patel highlighted the achievements of the Yogi Adityanath government. Members of the main opposition Samajwadi Party protested inside and outside the assembly on various issues.
