Users on ‘X’ have expressed their outrage at the behavior of these troublemakers.

On Wednesday, heavy rainfall also led to flooding in parts of the Vidhan Sabha building, where the Monsoon session of the state assembly is underway. Besides the assembly, several other areas of the state capital experienced waterlogging for nearly two hours due to the intense rain.

Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led government in a post on ‘X’, stating, “The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly needs the budget the most. If this is the condition after a torrential rain, then the rest of the state is at the mercy of God.”
