The Assembly session began at 11 a.m. with Opposition leaders targeting the government over its electricity "privatisation plan"

LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly plunged into chaos on the third day of its ongoing session as Samajwadi Party (SP) legislators protested fiercely against the government's proposed electricity "privatisation" plans. The ruckus forced Speaker Satish Mahana to adjourn proceedings after repeated interruptions.
Meanwhile, SP MLA Atul Pradhan, suspended for the remainder of the session, staged a sit-in near the Chaudhary Charan Singh statue in the Vidhan Bhavan complex, slamming the government's "anti-people policies". "The BJP government is trying to hand over the power sector to private players, burdening the common man with hefty electricity bills," Pradhan said.
