When did they start believing in democracy? Yogi’s taunt on Samajwadi Party in the assembly
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party on the first day of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly session, saying that SP and democracy are two different ends of the same river. Addressing the House, CM Yogi said that Samajwadi Party and democracy are two different ends of the same river. When did they start believing in democracy? Talking about democracy does not suit them. Everyone knows what they did in Sambhal. Citing examples from across the state, Yogi said that whether it is Sambhal, Bahraich or Gorakhpur, everyone knows about the misdeeds of SP. They did nothing during their tenure. If the NDA government wants to develop, then you (Samajwadi Party) are feeling bad. We are working together with the traders of the entire state. Goonda tax was imposed on traders during the SP rule. Continuing his criticism, the Chief Minister said that due to this, the traders are angry with you and the Samajwadi Party has to bear the brunt of it again and again. Instead of taking steps for the development of traders, they (Samajwadi Party) have put obstacles in their way. It cannot be expected from Samajwadi Party that they will talk about security and support good development. CM Yogi criticized SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s comment regarding running the UP Assembly 24 hours before the session begins and while talking to the media said that this is the commitment of the government and BJP towards development. Development is not on their agenda. When we ran the House for 36 hours on issues related to sustainable development goals, better education, better health facilities, agricultural development, skill development, employment, even then the members of Samajwadi Party walked out of the House. Development is not on their agenda. Talking to the media, CM Yogi said that all the questions raised by the members during the Question Hour will be answered. Welcoming all the MLAs to the session, he said that the session of UP Assembly is starting from today. I welcome all the members who have come to attend this session. UP Assembly is the largest assembly in the country. This is a very important session. In this session too, there will be discussion for the 25 crore people of the state.
