UP Winter Session: SP MLAs Turn Up the Heat with Protest Ahead of Assembly

The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly's winter session is set to commence on Monday, with expectations of intense debates and potential disruptions. Even before the session began, the Samajwadi Party (SP) staged a protest against the policies of the Yogi Adityanath government, accusing it of failing to deliver on its promises. SP legislators united in their criticism, particularly highlighting the unfulfilled assurances to farmers. During the protest, SP leaders accused the government of reneging on its promise of ensuring Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers, claiming the pledge remains incomplete even as the Yogi government nears the end of its tenure. They alleged that the BJP government has failed miserably in addressing the needs of the state, pointing to incidents of unrest and law and order issues, including communal tensions, that have plagued Uttar Pradesh during its rule. Holding placards in hand, SP legislators accused the government of neglecting the farmers and the common man, asserting that the administration has been unable to meet its commitments. With these allegations, SP lawmakers have set the tone for a combative session, vowing to hold the government accountable during the assembly proceedings. The protest reflects the opposition's determination to confront the ruling BJP over its track record on various fronts.
