In a heated exchange in the Uttar Pradesh assembly, tensions escalated between the ruling party and the main opposition, the Samajwadi Party (SP). Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak cautioned the opposing members against asking disruptive questions, implying that any provocation would lead to chaos in their responses. This statement came just as SP member Dr. R. K. Verma was preparing to ask a question, showcasing the already charged atmosphere within the house.

The growing tension in the assembly is not an isolated incident; it reflects a pattern of confrontational exchanges in recent sessions. The contentious atmosphere was evident when SP member Dr. Ragini Sonkar previously questioned the government on critical issues such as recruitment in competitive exams, the reservation system, and age relaxation for candidates. Her questions had previously led to an uncomfortable situation, highlighting the increasing divide between the ruling party and the opposition.

This kind of rhetoric from government officials, especially in a democratic assembly, raises concerns about the functioning of the legislative framework in Uttar Pradesh. The warning from the Deputy CM indicates a willingness to engage in chaos rather than constructive dialogue, which could have lasting implications for political discourse in the state. Such confrontations may not only affect the legislative process but also reflect broader political tensions across the region.
