The Monsoon Session of both the houses of the Uttar Pradesh legislature will start from Monday and is likely to be a stormy one with the main opposition party, the Samajwadi Party (SP) making its intentions clear by organising a protest march in the run-up to the session which will conclude on September 23.
On Sunday, the Speaker of the U.P. Legislative Assembly Satish Manaha chaired an all-party meeting and asked the co-operation from the floor leaders of the parties in the smooth functioning of the house. Both the major stakeholders in the U.P. legislature, the BJP and the SP organised their own party meeting on Sunday to decide on the strategy for the Monsoon Session — the BJP’s legislature party meeting was held at Lok Bhawan while the SP held one at the State party headquarters.
The SP decided that all its MLAs and MLCs would reach the Vidhan Bhawan on foot under the leadership of its national president with placards in their hands highlighting issues like unemployment, price rise and law and order failure in the State.
