Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati said that instead of displacing people in the name of encroachment in the state, the Uttar Pradesh government should focus on improving the lives of people suffering from poverty, unemployment, inflation and the deteriorating law and order.

Before the UP legislative assembly session starting from Monday, the BSP chief said in a post on X that lakhs of families affected by the devastation of floods in the state were in urgent need of government help and the government’s indifferent attitude towards it was not right.

“Lakhs of families affected by the devastation of floods in UP are in urgent need of government help, towards which the government’s indifferent attitude is worrying,” the former chief minister said,

The BSP chief said in another post on the social media platform X on Sunday, “The monsoon session of the UP legislative assembly is starting from tomorrow, Monday, in which the government will also present the supplementary budget.”

Mayawati said in the same post, “However, this session will also be brief. But, if the ongoing tussle and internal fighting in the BJP does not dominate the House and (the ruling party) works in the interest of the people and the state, it will be better.”

She also suggested, “'Instead of displacing people in the name of encroachment, the government should focus on improving the lives of people suffering from poverty, unemployment, inflation and deteriorating law and order situation.”

According to an information issued on Saturday by UP assembly’s Principal Secretary Pradeep Kumar Dubey, the House proceedings will begin on July 29 and will continue till August 2.
