The first session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly since the elections earlier this year began on a stormy note on Monday, May 15, with leaders in the Opposition creating a ruckus, blowing whistles and even targeting Governor Ram Naik with balled-up paper. They were protesting against the law-and-order situation in the state, in what can be construed as an effort to corner first-time Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The ruckus started as soon as the governor got on the podium to deliver his customary beginning-of-the-session address in a joint sitting of both Houses of the UP legislature.
