Expecting the coming Budget session of the state legislature to be fiery one, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has asked all the ruling party MlAs to be regular in Budget session and take part in the Vidhan Sabha proceedings. Directives in this regard were issued by Akhilesh Yadav, who also happened to be the state president of the party, here on Monday. The independent legislators supporting Samajwadi Party have also been asked to attend the House.
In his communication to the party legislators Yadav said that the presence of all the MlA’s in the session is very important as it encourage the ministers and boosts their confidence. “This (attendance of legislators) also helps the party in giving proper answers to the opposition,” he said and added: “Usually it is seen that the number of MlA’s present in the House decreases after lunch. This should be avoided.”.
“The budget session is crucial for the Government. Many forward looking projects would be launched in the budget. Detailed discussions on these schemes would take place in the House. The Opposition will try to find fault with these schemes and government will present its case. The legislators should carry forward these discussions in party’s proposed meetings at the district level,” Chief Minister said in his communication to the legislators.
Chief Minister also asked the ministers, particularly cabinet ministers, to come prepared in the House so that they can give answers to the Opposition queries. “The question hour is important for the government. The opposition will try to find faults with all the schemes. The ministers should do their home work and come prepared for any opposition question,” he said.
The party has celled a legislature party meeting on Wednesday morning. SP spokesman Rajendra Chaudhry said that Governor is prepared to answer all the questions of the opposition. “But now a days the opposition parties are more interested in making noise and disturbing House proceedings rather than going for constructive debate,” he said.
Chaudhry, who himself is a cabinet rank minister, said that Government wants the House should run on all allotted days and discussions should take place regularly. But the ball is in opposition’s court. It will have to take the call,” he said.
