residence of the Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.As soon as the House met at 11 AM, Leader of Opposition Swami Prasad Maurya of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) raised the issue and alleged that the state government has failed to control law and order due to which there was an atmosphere of fear in society.
