Chaos reigned in Lucknow’s UP Assembly on Monday at the budget session’s outset. As Governor Anandiben Patel addressed the House, opposition MLAs from the SP party created pandemonium with loud protests, barely allowing her to speak.
Energy Minister AK Sharma fired back forcefully. ‘This rowdy attitude is beyond tolerance. The Governor bravely conveyed her message despite the disruption—I salute her resolve,’ he said. Sharma lambasted the opposition for insulting a female leader, insisting the country stands united in condemnation.
He criticized their habit of derailing debates when issues run dry. ‘Public grievances get buried under their noise.’ Sharma praised BJP’s track record: restoring services neglected by predecessors, bolstered by double BJP governance at center and state.
On cultural honors, he spotlighted BJP’s tributes to Ahilyabai Holkar—a statue in Kashi Vishwanath Temple and institutions bearing her name. ‘We honor true icons; opposition spreads lies to mislead.’
Wrapping up, Sharma linked the bedlam to opposition discomfort with UP’s transformation. ‘Development irks them since they ignored it in power.’ This opening skirmish sets a tense tone for budget deliberations, reflecting broader political fault lines.
