Lucknow Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana on Wednesday appealed to members to ensure meaningful action during the upcoming monsoon session starting August 3, saying the House should witness constructive debates on the government’s performance over the past four-and-a-half years.
Speaking to PTI Videos here, Mahana said the 18th Assembly of Uttar Pradesh has completed nearly four-and-a-half years of its five-year term, with about six months remaining.
He said the state government’s supplementary budget will be presented during the monsoon period, which is scheduled to begin on August 3 and continue until August 6.
“The House of Representatives will meet from August 3 to 6 and the supplementary budget will be presented. I expect all political parties to participate in discussions on the achievements and work done by the government over the past four and a half years,” Mahana said.
The Speaker said that both the Treasury and Opposition Houses were entitled to present their views, but stressed that discussions must be conducted with facts and logic and within the limits of the House’s dignity and decorum.
“No one is guiding me on what to say. Members should raise issues, including their grievances, and the government will respond. My appeal to all honorable members is to ensure that the association functions smoothly,” he said.
Mahana also expressed his hope that the session would witness effective and meaningful discussions, describing it as an opportunity to review the work that has been accomplished during the association’s work so far.
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Tuesday approved holding the third session of the state legislature for the year 2026 from August 3, during which the supplementary budget for the financial year 2026-27 and other legislative works will be taken up.
The previous session of the state legislature met on April 30.
Both houses were adjourned indefinitely on the same day before the session was officially adjourned on 7 May.
