The legislators showed up in saffron, red, blue, green, and yellow caps and scarves matching the colours of their respective political parties. While Samajwadi Party (SP) members, including Leader of Opposition (LoP) Akhilesh Yadav, wore red caps, BJP legislators were seen donning those in saffron colour, distributed by a legislator just before the start of the session. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) members draped their necks with blue scarves, as Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) Members of Legislative Assembly (MLA), chose yellow.

Members of the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) had green scarves tied around their neck during the joint session in both the houses of the UP legislature.
