Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Sunday said that in the monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature starting on August 7, Monday, the BJP-led State government should show special responsibility regarding the issues of public interest such as rising inflation, poverty, unemployment and the bad condition of roads, electricity, water and security etc., as common people’s life was in extreme trouble due to these issues.
The former four-time Chief Minister also asked Opposition MLAs to force the government to only put factual things in the House and create accountability. “At the same time, in order to create accountability in the House for the promises and claims made by the government in matters of public interest, public welfare and development and to compel them to keep only factual things in the House, the role of Opposition is important to force them to not deviate.”
In the short session scheduled to be of five days, both Houses — the Legislative Assembly and the Council — will adopt new rulebook providing for restricting the number of supplementary questions to two and bringing down the minimum period of notice to summon the House from 14 to seven days.
