SP MLAs protested against the new rules by wearing black clothes and wore ‘kurtas’ written with slogans against the government.

The slogans include “Yogi government come to your senses,” “UP has become a jungle raj”-” Where is Yogi Maharaj sleeping?” and ” Law and order has collapsed in the state.”

Talking to media before the session, the CM said that the state government is ready for discussions on overall development, public welfare, issues related to public interest and resolution of public problems during the forthcoming Winter session of the House, adding that all the members of different political parties have been invited for a meaningful discussion on the topic.

“Our government is fully prepared to answer all the questions of the members and is ready to discuss all the issues related to development of Uttar Pradesh,” he said.

Emphasizing the importance of the House as a crucial platform to address issues concerning the general public and draw the government’s attention towards them, the Chief Minister expressed the confidence that all members, considering the sentiments of the common people, would contribute towards making the House a center for healthy discussions.
