The opposition parties in Maharashtra on Sunday announced their decision to boycott the state government's customary high tea event, on the eve of the legislature's Monsoon Session.

According to PTI, this move stems from allegations of rampant corruption, unpopular policies, and widespread misuse of public funds.

Ambadas Danve of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), who serves as the leader of opposition in the legislative council, confirmed the development. He also stated that the boycott serves as a "clear mark of protest" against what he termed is a "dishonest government."
