Lucknow, 05 July (HS): Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish

Mahana on Sunday urged young people to acquire quality education and enter

politics, saying only those who know everything will succeed in politics. While

previously, only those who knew nothing entered politics, circumstances have

changed, and public representatives must satisfy millions of people.

Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana was speaking on

Sunday at the inauguration of the closing session of the Young India Parliament

2026 – Kanpur Chapter, organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)

Young Indians. Addressing the students and youth who had come to the Young

India Parliament 2026, organized in collaboration with the Confederation of

Indian Industry (CII), the Assembly Speaker gave detailed information about the

Assembly proceedings, Zero Hour, Bills, Starred Questions. He also shared

important information such as the Governor's speech in the Assembly, discussion

on the budget and voting, and also told about the changes made by him.

Discussing current politics, he said that before 2014, the

law and order situation was extremely poor. Daughters-in-law and daughters

would stop visiting as soon as evening fell. There was no law and order in the

state at that time. Recalling a visit to a friend's house in Gujarat before

2017, he said that after dinner at 11 p.m., a friend asked what ice cream we

would eat. He said, We'll eat whatever we have. The friend,

mentioning his daughter's name, said she would go and get it immediately.

We were surprised that their daughter would go at 11 p.m., whereas in

Uttar Pradesh, this is simply impossible at such a late hour, he said.

However, after 2017, the system in Uttar Pradesh has changed so much that even

daughters-in-law and daughters can go anywhere at night. The officers and police

remain the same, but the leadership is Yogi Adityanath. Therefore, all this is

possible. Similarly, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,

India's reputation has increased globally, unlike before 2014.

While discussing purity in politics, Assembly Speaker Mahana

said that it used to be believed that only those who knew nothing would become

leaders, but that's no longer the case. Now, only those who know everything

will succeed in politics, as they have to satisfy millions of people. Uttar

Pradesh has 403 assembly seats and a large number of candidates. Therefore, a

good education is essential to enter politics. He urged young people to study

well if they want to enter politics.

During this event, several participants asked Assembly

Speaker Satish Mahana questions and events related to the functioning of the

House. Mahana answered these questions in detail and explained that running the

House requires restrained and dignified conduct. Members of both the ruling and

opposition parties should adhere to this principle, and the government should

also fully listen to the opposition. He explained that the Uttar Pradesh

Assembly has a large number of doctors, management, and law graduates, and they

maintain decorum in the House and raise issues related to the people of their

constituencies. They express their opinions on development plans and the

budget. On this occasion, participants toured the Assembly building and the

House and gained valuable information. CII Young Indians National Vice

President Anuj Agarwal, Kanpur Chapter Chair Sanchit Agarwal, Co-Chair Yash

Agarwal, CII Uttar Pradesh Director and State Head Alok Shukla, along with

other officials, were present.
