Gulab Devi’s strong counterattack on Ragini Sonkar’s poetry attack, a war of poetry broke out in the House:

News India Live, Digital Desk: These days, the session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly is in the headlines not only for the discussion of development but also for the sharp rhetoric and now ‘poetry’ war. There was a debate in the House between SP MLA Ragini Sonkar and Yogi government minister Gulab Devi, which completely changed the atmosphere. When Ragini Sonkar started her speech with poetry, Minister Gulab Devi also retaliated in the same manner and created silence in the House.

Ragini Sonkar’s poetry hits target

Samajwadi Party’s flamboyant MLA Ragini Sonkar adopted a poetic style in the House while cornering the government on issues like health and education. Through his lines, he took a dig at the functioning of the government and tried to show that the situation on the ground was contrary to the claims. His choice of words enthused the opposition camp and brought new energy to the proceedings of the House.

Minister Gulab Devi’s ‘befitting’ reply

Yogi government’s Secondary Education Minister Gulab Devi did not let this attack of the opposition go waste. He retaliated in his turn in a very calm and dignified manner. Gulab Devi also read a powerful poetry, in which she termed the claims of the opposition party as hollow and praised the achievements of the government. He gave the message through his poetry that “a mirror needs to be shown to those who turn their backs on reality.”

‘Wah-Wah’ and laughter in the house

This war of words and poetry between the two women leaders lightened the serious atmosphere of the House for a few moments. While the ruling party was seen thumping the tables on Gulab Devi’s poetry, voices of ‘wah-wah’ came from the opposition benches for Ragini Sonkar. This scene of UP Assembly is going viral on social media also.

issues were also discussed

Amidst the intensity of poetry, Ragini Sonkar raised the problems of Jaunpur and surrounding areas, on which a detailed reply was also given by the government. This is not the first time that such a confluence of literature and politics has been seen in the UP Assembly, but this clash between two women stalwarts made it memorable.
