Today marks the beginning of the session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature for the year 2024, and I extend a heartfelt welcome to all honourable members on this auspicious occasion,'' an official statement quoted Adityanath as saying.

He also appealed to all opposition members to think above party politics and engage in constructive discussions in the House for the development of the state, the statement said.

The chief minister noted that the positive image cultivated about the state, both nationally and globally, would be advantageous for opposition parties as well.
