Lucknow: It was not a normal Thursday morning in Lucknow. The sun was at its peak and so was the anger and discontent of the Opposition parties. As a result, the session of the first UP assembly turned chaotic when the Opposition parties staged a protest against the ruling Samajwadi Party against the lawlessness and lack of governance in the state.
Opposition parties geared up to question the Akhilesh Yadav government on various issues including power crisis, women safety and the deteriorating law and order situation.Â
UP BJP President Laxmikant Bajpai had said “BJP will raise all the issues in the Assembly session, including problems related to safety of women, law and order, unemployment and power crisis. If the state government doesn’t show a positive attitude towards the important issues, then BJP will inform the public about the shortcomings of the state government.”

BSP leader Swami Prasad Maurya, also said, “UP is facing a lot of problems right now, with hooligans making a mockery of the system and don’t even spare the policemen. The rape cases have increased in the region and there are at least 2-3 rapes every day in every district. The culprits are so fearless of the law that abduction, rape and killing girls by hanging them on the trees have become a new fashion.”
