Opposition creates ruckus
The opposition created a ruckus in the Assembly over various issues during the Budget presentation. Slamming the opposition for creating a ruckus, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that instead of raising public issues, it was disrupting the proceedings of the House.
Government ready to discuss all issues
The Chief Minister said the government is fully prepared to discuss all issues, but the opposition is avoiding discussion. Due to the continued uproar, the Assembly Speaker adjourned the House until 11 am on Wednesday.
SP MLA Sachin Yadav suspended
During the uproar, Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana appeared displeased with the behaviour of Samajwadi Party MLAs. SP MLA Sachin Yadav was expelled from the House for the entire day.

After the House was adjourned, CM Yogi slammed the opposition in a press conference. “The entire state witnessed the opposition’s behaviour in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly today. This behaviour is not only contemptuous of the House but also undemocratic and shameful. The House operates according to rules, regulations, and traditions,” he said.
SP raising irrational issues
Attacking the opposition, CM Yogi said that the Samajwadi Party, by raising irrational issues, only attempts to spread negative and misleading information in the environment.
