Mumbai, March 13: Opposition parties in Maharashtra today boycotted the customary tea party hosted by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan ahead of the Assembly session, saying he misled people on appointment of CVC during his stint as Minister of State in the PMO and demanded an apology.
Addressing a press conference after a meeting of opposition parties which was attended by BJP, Shiv Sena and MNS, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Eknath Khadse demanded an apology from Chavan and sought his resignation on moral grounds.
“Chavan says it was the responsibility of Kerala government to provide vigilance report while the Kerala government has furnished documentary evidence that such a vigilance report was indeed given. However, Chavan is not ready to accept his responsibility. This amounts to betrayal of trust of the people of Maharashtra,” Khadse said.
