Will decide further after getting Khan's speech: UP Guv

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today said he is yet to receive the unedited CD and transcript of senior minister Azam Khan's speech in the state Legislature in which the latter had allegedly accused him of working under the "influence of a party".
"I have not got the unedited printed copies and audio and video CD and I will decide what I have to do on it only after going through them", Naik told reporters on the sidelines of a programme at the Lucknow University.
The Governor, in his letter last week to Speaker Mata Prasad, had said that Khan and other members referred to UP Nagar Nigam Amendment Bill 2015 in the House, which he wanted to "read and see".

Khan has been engaged in a war of words with Naik for some time, with the Samajwadi Party leader accusing him of being a "kar sevak" and "communally vitiating" the atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh at the behest of the Modi government at the Centre.
Addressing the V S Ram Memorial Lecture at the university, Naik regretted that the "level of debate in the legislature has gone down".
Gradually politics has become business... If the picture of politics has to be changed, talented and intelligent people will have to come forward, Naik said.

The opposition should have the right to speak, the government needs to take the opposition into confidence and evolve consensus for doing its work, he said.

With good people coming, criminalisation will also be checked as not everyone in politics is corrupt, he said.
Transparency and reliability can check corruption...Dignity should be maintained in exchange of views and thoughts, he said.
The governor said one can serve the society by both being in the government or in opposition, whether in Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha.
