UP ASSEMBLY

finance minister ahead of Yogi Adityanath ministry’s first reshuffle carried out on August 21, 2019. There were reports that chief minister Yogi Adityanath had decided to drop him from the state cabinet. The BJP’s move to get Nitin Agarwal is being considered to give a message in the same direction.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav during his recent visit to Hardoi had said his party’s doors were open for the leaders who were feeling humiliated in other parties and wanted to come back to the SP fold.

“The Samajwadi Party has given respect to every leader. Whosoever wants to join the SP is welcome,” said Yadav while replying to a question from media persons in Hardoi recently. Yadav was asked whether his party would admit former MP Naresh Agarwal and his son Nitin Agarwal. Yadav said, “The SP will welcome Naresh Agarwal and Nitin Agarwal if the two leaders say they are feeling humiliated in the BJP.”

Congress MLC Deepak Singh, in a letter dated October 15, 2021 sent to the governor, has demanded that the election for the post of deputy chairman of the legislative council should be held along with election to the post of deputy speaker of the legislative assembly. He said the deputy speaker of the legislative assembly and the deputy chairman of legislative council are generally elected from the opposition and such traditions have taken a back seat during the tenure of non-Congress governments.
