The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will boycott the tea party hosted by the Maharashtra government on the eve of the state legislature's winter session, set to take place on Sunday, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Ambadas Danve said, according to news agency PTI. 

Addressing a press conference in Nagpur, Danve stated that despite the opposition's reduced strength in the assembly, it would, with full force, confront the government on various issues, including those related to farmers. He also criticised the short duration of the six-day winter session of the Maharashtra legislature and called for an extension of the proceedings, stated PTI.
