Lucknow,

16 Feb (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath condemned opposition

members' conduct during Governor Anandiben Patel's presentation at the

commencement of the Budget Session, which is underway on Monday, saying it

undermined democratic norms and disregarded constitutional authority. Speaking

at the Legislative Council in response to the discussion on the Governor's

address, Adityanath stated that 51 members of diverse parties had enhanced the

debate with useful comments while maintaining the debate's decorum and seriousness.

He praised them for their participation. The Governor's speech is a document

summarizing the government's successes and future action plans that is

constitutionally given by the Governor in the Assembly and by the President in

Parliament each year, according to Adityanath.

He

stated that the Governor, as the state's constitutional leader, needs to be

respected by all members. Referring to the opposition's behavior during the

address, notably that of the Samajwadi Party, he claimed that it not only

disregarded a constitutional office but also amounted to an insult to a woman

occupying a prominent position. He stated that it is our collective obligation

to respect national symbols, constitutional arrangements, and the dignity of

constitutional offices, as well as refrain from engaging in conduct that sends

the incorrect message to future generations. Adityanath stated that expecting

more from such an opposition would be ridiculous, and that the episode showed

the Samajwadi Party's pessimistic mindset.

He

described the attitude as an affront to women's dignity, particularly against

the seasoned leader who is presently serving as Governor. The chief minister

highlighted the substance of the Governor's message, saying it mirrored the

state government's achievements over the last eight to nine years. He said that

Uttar Pradesh has moved from crime and chaos to discipline, curfew to the rule

of law, turmoil to jubilation, and problems to remedies. He stated that the

voyage also signaled a shift from suspicion to self-confidence, and that both

the country and the globe now recognize the change in Uttar Pradesh. Adityanath

said that previous governments, motivated by narrow goals, jeopardized the state's

future and denied its 25 crore people their proper opportunity, driving the

state into anarchy and instability.
