The Uttar Pradesh Assembly witnessed a heated exchange of words between the BJP and Samajwadi Party members on Wednesday, after Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's remarks irked Leader of Opposition Akhilesh Yadav. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had to intervene, saying unparliamentary words and threats should not be made part of the proceedings as it would set a wrong precedent. Participating in the discussion on the Governor's address, Mr Maurya said during his speech in the House that Akhilesh Yadav was "praising" the work done in the state when he was the Chief Minister. "If his work was of any good, people would not have cleaned up the Samajwadi Party's mess in the election," the BJP leader said.
