Addressing the concluding day of the two day training and orientation programme for the first time MlAs Yogi said `` the Modi wave facilitated your election to the state assembly now you are expected to serve the people with dedication and if you fail in discharging your duties then people wont forgive you’’.
He said 100 percent turnout of the first time MlAs is a welcome sign and this will ensure the smooth conduct of the proceedings of the state assembly. Out of the total 403 as many as 238 members have been elected for the first time to the assembly.
lok Sabha speaker Sumitra mahajan and Union minister of human resource development also addressed the MlAs on the concluding day. lauding the role of the lok Sabha speaker, Chief Minister said the out put of the lok Sabha during the recently concluded budget session was 120 percent. ``Sumitra Mahajan is an experienced parliamentarian and the UP legislators will be benefited by her long experience in public life’’, said Yogi Adityanath. CM said Sumitra Mahajan, the eight terms MP from Indore, as lok Sabha Speaker has always given more opportunity and has played an important role in maintaining the democratic convention in the parliament.
Sumitra mahajan in her address said asking the MlAs to follow the `democratic conventions’ during the proceedings of the assembly said `` you have been elected as legislator and your are a people representative you are not the leader’’.
``Never consider yourself as a leader; right now you are only a legislator which does not necessarily mean that you also a leader. Mahatma Gandhi had also said that peoples representative is no0t a leader. A legislator is not the guide of the people, the people have elected a person for the fulfillment of their aspirations’’, said Sumitra Mahajan.
