UP: CM Yogi Adityanath urges Opposition not to disrupt House proceedings during Budget Session

UP CM Yogi Adityanath presents economic survey, urges opposition against disruptions in Assembly. Budget to be presented Feb 11.

"The legislature functions through dialogue, not by disrupting proceedings. - Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, February 9

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday urged the Opposition not to disrupt House proceedings during the Budget Session of the Legislative Assembly.

Addressing mediapersons ahead of the Assembly sitting, CM Adityanath said that the State government will present an economic survey to showcase the state's achievements in the journey of becoming "a breakthrough state in the Indian economy"

The Chief Minister said, "The legislature is indeed an important pillar of democracy. It functions through dialogue, not by disrupting proceedings. If any member wants to raise an issue, disrupting the proceedings is, in a way, an attempt to dilute the very issues they want to draw attention to."

"After the Governor's address today, when the address is laid on the table of the House, the economic survey of Uttar Pradesh will also be presented in the House immediately. This is the first time any state government will present its economic achievements. We would like to note that we have moved Uttar Pradesh out of its BIMARU (backwards) state and established it as a breakthrough in the Indian economy.

"All public representatives and the people of Uttar Pradesh have the right to know about these factors and the journey of Uttar Pradesh's economic progress. The economic survey report covering all these aspects will also be presented in the House today, and I believe that this report will be an important document for all members during the discussion on the Governor's address and also during the budget discussion, for presenting and discussing their data," he said.

The Chief Minister informed that the Budget will be presented on February 11.

"The Budget Session is going to start today. There are two major agendas in the Budget Session. First, the address of the Governor and second, the presentation of the General Budget. The General Budget 2026-27 will be presented on 11th February, and there will be discussions on the same. The session will run till February 20," he said.

UP Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana said both the ruling and the opposition sides will have equal opportunity to raise their concerns in the House.

"As the session begins, I believe matters related to public welfare will be taken up. Both sides will have equal opportunity to raise their concerns in the House. The opposition can present their concerns, and the government will respond to them," the Assembly Speaker said.

The session, scheduled from February 9 to 20, marks the first legislative meeting of the year in the state.

Presenting an economic survey is a great step towards transparency. As a resident of Noida, I'm keen to see the hard data on the state's progress. The "BIMARU" tag has been around for decades—if the claims are true, it's a significant turnaround.

While dialogue is important, the opposition also has a duty to hold the government accountable. Sometimes disruption is the only tool they have when their voices are not heard. The Speaker's assurance of equal opportunity is key here. Let's see if it translates to action.

Hope the budget focuses on real issues like unemployment and farmers' income. All this talk of being a "breakthrough state" needs to reflect in the pockets of the common man in Lucknow, Gorakhpur, and the villages. Jai Hind!

The economic survey will be an interesting read. But the CM is right—presenting it amidst chaos serves no one. Both sides need to act with maturity. Our democracy deserves better than political theatrics.

As a teacher, I hope the budget allocates more funds for education and school infrastructure in UP. That's the real foundation for a "breakthrough economy". Fingers crossed! 📚
