Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday hit out at the Opposition for its behaviour during the governor's address to the joint sitting of the state legislature last week, saying it does not augur well for democracy.

The opposition parties had raised slogans and staged a walkout during the Governor's address in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on the first day of the Budget session on Thursday news agency .

Wrapping up the discussion on the governor's address, Yogi Adityanath said, "Such behaviour does not augur well for democracy. Nor will it do any good to any party".

"Their behaviour during the address of the governor will not strengthen democracy. We have to shun bad practices and adopt good ones. But there are those who work contrary to this, leave good practices and adopt bad traditions and try to do more bad," Yogi Adityanath said in the Legislative Council.

"Their [Opposition's] behaviour against a governor, who also happens to be a woman, is not good," Yogi Adityanath was quoted as saying.

In his address, Yogi Adityanath also recalled the state guest house incident, that took place on June 2, 1995, when SP lawmakers and supporters created a ruckus at the venue where Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati was meeting her legislators purportedly to pull the plug on the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led coalition government.

"...It is there in history that the state guest house episode is an example of their [Opposition's] behaviour," Yogi Adityanath said.

"It's a misconception that one who shouts and creates ruckus while raising an issue is considered good. People do not consider it as good. In public life, we should set an example for people to follow," Yogi Adityanath said.

"Continuing the bad tradition will do no good to any party or people. But it is a matter of habit which refuses to change," Yogi Adityanath said.
