Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged the opposition to engage constructively in legislative proceedings, instead of causing disruptions in the proceedings of the House “prompted by the recent electoral setbacks.â€
He emphasised that the governor’s address and budget discussion offer a vital platform for all members to voice their views effectively.
The budget for the financial year 2025-26 will be presented in the state assembly by Finance Minister Suresh Khanna on Thursday.
The chief minister reaffirmed the government’s readiness to address any opposition-raised issues with facts, hoping that the House would serve as a forum for meaningful debate rather than allegations and disruptive conduct. He emphasised that responsible conduct from all members would uphold public trust in democracy.
Welcoming legislators, he called for a productive and respectful session. Welcoming all members to the legislative session, CM Yogi highlighted the significance of the proceedings, which commenced with the governor’s address.
Yogi underscored the rarity of such an extended legislative session in Uttar Pradesh’s history and stressed the shared responsibility of the ruling party and the opposition to ensure productive and orderly discussions.
He hoped the House would serve as a meaningful platform for debate, reflecting the unprecedented development achieved under the BJP-led double-engine government over the past approximately eight years. These achievements, he stated, would be evident in the speeches and discussions within the House.
The chief minister said that Uttar Pradesh has undergone a remarkable transformation, gaining national and global recognition as a hub of growth and opportunity. He criticised the opposition for attempting to evade discussions on these achievements and disrupting proceedings.
However, he expressed optimism that this Budget session could be productive if the opposition engages in constructive debate. With proceedings running until March 5, he highlighted the opportunity for members to discuss the governor’s address, budget proposals, and other legislative matters while raising public concerns effectively.
