The BSP members stormed into the Well of the House raising anti-government slogans which led to multiple adjournments.
At the beginning of the Zero hour, Leader of the Opposition Naseemuddin Siddiqui raised the issue alleging that in the native district of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, a garland of shoes was put on an upper caste couple and they were paraded in the village allegedly by SP workers.
Chairman Ganesh Shanker Pandey requested the members to take their benches, but when the uproar continued he adjourned the House for 10 minutes, which was extended twice by 15 minutes and 10 minutes and later till 3 PM.
