Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath urges constructive debate as monsoon session opens

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed a press conference ahead of the monsoon session of the state assembly, welcoming legislators and describing the house as a vital forum for public‑interest issues. He highlighted the government's achievements in poverty alleviation, direct farmer payments and announced that an Outsourcing Commission for contract workers will be introduced within weeks.

On the second day, Samajwadi Party (SP) legislators disrupted proceedings over the alleged Ram temple idol‑theft case, leading to a physical clash in the chamber. Assembly speaker Satish Mahana suspended SP MLA Sachin Yadav for the entire session and the house was temporarily adjourned.

Throughout, Yogi Adityanath urged all members, including the opposition, to set aside "negativity", raise genuine development concerns and conduct discussions peacefully.
