Congress to boycott Deputy Speaker's election in Uttar Pradesh
The Hindu
Nitin Agarwal is all set to be the Deputy Speaker of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly with the BJP’s support
Accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to divert attention from the various problems plaguing Uttar Pradesh by going in for election for the post of Deputy Speaker, the Congress on Monday decided to boycott the poll.
Congress workers also sat in front of the State Assembly carrying placards demanding justice for farmers who died in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence on October 3.
The party also alleged that both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP) were involved in a friendly fight and were keen on the election and not on discussing the various raging issues facing the state.
