The Budget Session of the Uttar Pradesh legislature which began on Friday witnessed protests by MLAs and MLCs of the Samajwadi Party (SP). They disrupted Governor Anandiben Patel’s address with slogans of “Rajyapal wapas jao”. The Governor continued to read her address amidst the sloganeering in the joint sitting of both houses- Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders chanted “Jai Shri Ram” in response.
The Governor described the Ram Temple in Ayodhya as the affirmation of the country’s cultural pride which would leave an indelible mark on its history. “Establishing of the magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, stands as a profound manifestation of the resolve and deep-seated faith of the Indian people. It represents further affirmation of India’s cultural pride,” she remarked.
