On Thursday, both the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council) adopted a censure motion against the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and other parties in the INDI alliance. This motion accused the opposition of obstructing the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, which aims to enhance women's empowerment. The special session, attended by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Finance Minister Suresh Khanna, began with discussions on women's empowerment, during which Khanna outlined the state government's initiatives for women's welfare and security. He emphasized a zero-tolerance policy against crime and referenced the NDA government's efforts to fast-track women's reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies through the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill 2026. The opposition's protests, including members entering the well of the House with placards, did not prevent the motion from being adopted by voice vote in both houses.
