UP monsoon session likely to be rocky
Lucknow, Aug. 3 -- The Uttar Pradesh legislature's monsoon session is set to begin on Monday, with chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday urging representatives from both the ruling party and the opposition to raise every issue concerning public interest in the House.
Addressing an all-party meeting chaired by UP legislative assembly speaker Satish Mahana at the Vidhan Bhavan, Adityanath said, "The monsoon session should witness constructive discussions on issues concerning the common people. Such deliberations, he said, contribute to the state's development and help resolve public grievances."

We will also raise issues concerning inflation, law and order, rising crime against women and shortage of fertilisers," Pandey and Mishra said.
