SP legislators protest in Uttar Pradesh Assembly premises over Ram temple donation issue

SP legislators on Monday (August 3, 2026) staged a protest in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly premises, accusing the BJP government of failing to act on the Ram temple donation theft issue and demanding action over paper leaks.

Holding placards that read “NEET hai ya cheat hai” (Is it NEET or cheat), “Daan ka paisa kahan milega, BJP ke khate me” (Donation money will be found in BJP’s account)”, the Samajwadi Party (SP) MLAs and MLCs alleged that the government was attempting to suppress the truth in the Ram temple donation matter and sought a fair probe.

Holding a donation box in their hand, SP MLAs alleged that the BJP had “betrayed the faith of devotees” and demanded accountability over donations made for the temple. They also claimed devotees were losing confidence and sought a transparent investigation.

Issues such as paper leaks, unemployment, inflation, fertiliser shortage, floods and alleged irregularities in reservation should be discussed in the House, they said.

They also accused the government of curtailing the duration of the Monsoon session to avoid debate on public issues.

The protesting legislators said incidents of examination paper leaks had adversely affected students and demanded strict action against those responsible.

The four-day Monsoon Session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly begins on Monday (August 3, 2026).
