Lucknow, Jan 20 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on X expressed serious concern over the steadily declining working hours of Parliament and State Legislatures, attributing it to frequent disruptions, uproar, and adjournments, which she said are weakening their public utility and democratic role.
