Lucknow, Aug 21(UNI) Principle opposition Samajwadi Party and Congress have announced to oppose vehemently some controversial Bills slated to be tabled by the Yogi Adityanath government in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Saturday.
The UP government has announced to table the controversial Public and Private Property Damage Recovery Ordinance and the Uttar Pradesh Govt Prevention Amendment Ordinance, along with 15 other Bills.
The Samajwadi Party's leader of the opposition Ram Govind Choudhury said here on Friday that his party members will oppose the Bills in the Assembly with all their might.
He said that the government was misusing its power as they have majority in the Assembly by bringing in such anti -people legislations.
"I had earlier written to the government not to go ahead with these bills but they are not ready to mend their ways", Mr Choudhury said.
The state Congress too has decided to oppose it with UPCC chief Ajay Kumar Lallu allegeding that it exposes the 'two-faced' nature of the BJP.
Mr Lallu has demanded compensation saying that during his tenure as MP of Gorakhpur, he had cases against him during previous disputes of damaging public properties.

He said, “The government is cheating by bringing Public and Private Property Bill in many districts including Kushinagar, Gorakhpur. When CM Yogi Adityanath was an MP in Gorakhpur, there had been violences in which there were cases against him. So he should be the first to give compensation, others will follow suit."

The Congress leader said the government was adopting double standards. "The government likes to put out pictures of others and when it comes to their own, it shies away. We will oppose the decision if the government will not hold a discussion on it.”
Reacting to the tweet of Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, the UPCC Chief said, “Mayawati speaks the language of the BJP, her party can do whatever, but our party has our own stand on these issues."
He said if the government did not discuss the issues in the House, the party would continue with its protest.
"The government is running away from the Opposition. Farmers are upset in the state, crime is on the rise, youth are upset, but the government has then too, deliberately called such a short session," he said.
Earlier in the month of March this year, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel had promulgated an ordinance for recovery of damage to public and private properties from rioters and protesters and to provide for setting up of tribunals to adjudicate claims for damage and recover them.
It was promulgated four days after the Supreme Court refused to stay the Allahabad High Court's March 9 order for removing the state government's name-and-shame posters displaying photographs and names of the alleged rioters involved in damaging properties during in anti-CAA protests in December last year.
