Uproar in UP assembly over ruling party ruckus, adjourned for 10 minutes

Lucknow, Feb 13 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh Assembly witnessed a heated uproar on Friday over the issue of reservation in recruitment. Samajwadi Party MLA Ragini Sonkar questioned the government regarding reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and OBCs in state-level recruitments.
Responding to the question, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna stated that a total of 47,000 positions have been filled since April 2017. These include 18,000 general category candidates, 2,081 (EWS), 9,580 Scheduled Castes, 447 Scheduled Tribes, and 17,295 OBC candidates.
Unsatisfied with the minister's response, Sonkar asked a supplementary question, seeking further clarification on the compliance with reservations. Meanwhile, members of the ruling party also stood up and began creating a ruckus, which heated up the atmosphere in the House.
