The budget session of the UP Assembly started today. The opposition created a ruckus on the very first day. While the Speaker of the Assembly was explaining to the members by making Hindi, Awadhi and Bhojpuri a part of the proceedings of the House, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath strongly attacked the opposition, objecting to the inclusion of English in the proceedings of the House by Mataprasad Pandey. The CM said that this is the double character of the socialists, they will send their children to English public schools and ask the children of others to study in village schools. They will teach their children in English medium, and tell others to teach Urdu, they want to make them fanatics, maulvis, this will not work. This shows that whatever is the sentiment.
CM Yogi said this about language
The CM further said, that is why you opposed Awadhi Bhojpuri Bundeli language yesterday. In our government, different dialects Braj, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Bundelkhandi are getting respect. Different academies are also being formed in our government, all these are sub-languages of Hindi, that is, they are daughters of Hindi. This House is not of pure literary and grammar scholars. Members from different sections of society have come to this House. The voice of the person at the bottom of the ladder should be given a voice in the House. If he is unable to speak Hindi, he can speak Awadhi, Bundelkhandi, Bhojpuri, whatever he is capable of.
Targeting the opposition
We congratulate that these dialects should get respect, for this we have formed academies. Today, the Indian diaspora living in Mauritius, Fiji are the Awadhi speaking people. You oppose every good work, we condemn it, our government believes that these dialects should be in the proceedings of the House.
