Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Sunday convened an all-party meeting with leaders of different parties ahead of the Winter session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly and called for the cooperation of all for the efficient functioning of the House.
The Winter session of both the Houses of the state legislature is proposed to be held from December 16 to 20.
According to a statement, Adityanath emphasized that constructive discussions in the Houses contribute to both the state’s development and resolving public issues. “As public representatives, we must address the concerns and problems of the people constructively,” he said.
“The Uttar Pradesh legislature, while ensuring proper conduct of the proceedings in a dignified manner, has taken up discussions on important issues in the past over six years. The proceedings have been conducted in a dignified manner as per the true ethos of democracy through dialogue.
“This is also a matter of curiosity for people as this is the very house where once an incident of clash (maar-peet) had taken place. But today, discussions on public issues are taking place in a proper manner,” Adityanath said.
Asserting that the government was ready to give answers to questions of all opposition members, he said, “I appeal to all members, especially to those of the opposition parties, to help maintain that dignity as it is also the responsibility of the opposition and not just of the ruling party.” “The state government is ready for discussion on all issues of development and public importance,” he said.
“I believe that members of the opposition parties will cooperate in maintaining the dignity of the House and help conduct the Winter session in a proper manner,” the chief minister added.
