Opposition boycotts all-party meeting; Houses adjourned

Both Houses of Maharashtra legislature witnessed uproar on Wednesday over the opposition's decision to boycott the all-party meeting convened by the chief minister on the Maratha reservation issue, leading to adjournment of the assembly and the council for the day.

The meeting convened on Tuesday evening was boycotted by Maha Vikas Aghadi members accusing the government of not taking them into confidence.

The opposition wants to keep the reservation issue burning instead of resolving it, minister Shambhuraj Desai claimed.

"All opposition MLAs were given written invitations; many of them were informed through phone calls. Video conferencing was arranged for those who were outside Mumbai. Still opposition parties refused to attend the meeting," Desai said.
