TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday slammed the opposition for boycotting the special session of the state Assembly marking the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
Speaking at the beginning of the special marathon session that will continue for 36 hours and will discuss ways and means to achieve the 17 sustainable goals enlisted by the UN, Adityanath said: “The opposition has shown disrespect not only to Mahatma Gandhi but also to the common people of this state because the discussion on sustainable goals would have worked to the favour of the poor.”
The Chief Minister said that Gandhi embodied qualities that made him a global entity. “I am most surprised at the Congress decision to boycott the session since this party claims to be Gandhi”s legacy. They have remained in power in the name of Gandhi and now they are boycotting a session dedicated to Gandhi which is shameful.
