Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) accused the Samajwadi Party and Congress of unconstitutional and uncivil conduct during the State

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) accused the Samajwadi Party and Congress of unconstitutional and uncivil conduct during the State Assembly’s Monsoon Session, adding that Opposition members violated established rules and played with the interests of 25 crore people of the State. The Opposition protested inside and outside the Assembly over embezzlement at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. “The conduct of the Samajwadi Party and the Opposition is unconstitutional and shameful. By disrupting the proceedings of the House, the Opposition is playing with the interests of 25 crore people of the State, and every resident of Uttar Pradesh is witnessing it. During the Assembly Session, every member of the House gets an excellent opportunity to discuss issues concerning the interests of their constituency and 25 crore people of the State.

However, those who have no faith in democratic values insult and undermine all institutions that strengthen parliamentary democracy. This conduct of the Samajwadi Party and the Opposition is not only unconstitutional but also shameful,” said the Uttar Pradesh CM, outside the Assembly. Adityanath added that the agenda of the House had already been finalised during the meeting of party leaders and the Business Advisory Committee; despite that, members of the Opposition did not show interest in even a single legislative proposal or supplementary budget-related proposal listed on the agenda. “The government wishes to hold meaningful discussions on every issue that the Chair invites for discussion under the Rules because our government is committed to public welfare. However, Opposition parties have never believed in democratic values.

Instead, they deliberately seek to undermine the dignity of the House and make a mockery of democracy. They are continuously vitiating the atmosphere of the House. The people of Uttar Pradesh are witnessing this undemocratic conduct of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress, said CM Yogi. Amid the uproar in the Assembly, U.P. Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana expelled the SP MLA Sachin Yadav for the rest of the session after he staged a protest displaying a photograph of the CM during the protest over alleged embezzlement in Ayodhya. In the chaos, Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna presented the Supplementary Budget of ₹59,019.54 crore for the financial year 2026-27. While presenting the Supplementary Demands for Grants, Mr. Khanna said that the total size of the proposed Supplementary Budget is ₹59,019.54 crore, which is 6.47% of the State’s original Budget for the current financial year.
