Lucknow: The opposition will demand answers from the Akhilesh Yadav government to a host of issues, including the Muzaffarnagar riots, when the monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh state assembly begins today, said leaders of several parties.
With issues including the arrest of a Samajwadi Party legislator in Goa with prostitutes in a hotel, the grim power scenario, illegal mining, suspension of IAS official Durga Shakti Nagpal and communal riots in Muzaffarnagar, the opposition is breathing fire and the government has been pushed on the defensive.
Insiders in the ruling party admit that the scenario was "grim and indefensible" for the 18-month-old government, hit by poor law and order.
Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Dalbeer Singh said the party will seek answers on the complete failure of the government in allowing the communal situation in the western parts of the state to spin out of control.
