PANJIM: The Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), a part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has condemned the contemptuous decision of 19 political parties to boycott the inauguration of new Parliament building scheduled on Sunday.
In a press release, MGP legislators Ramakrishna ‘Sudin’ Dhavalikar and Jit Arolkar stated that the decision is disrespectful, a blatant affront to the democratic ethos and constitutional values of the nation.

Both the MLAs said that over the past nine years the opposition parties have repeatedly shown scant regard for Parliamentary procedures, disrupted sessions, staged walkouts during crucial legislations and demonstrated alarming lackadaisical attitude towards their Parliamentary duties.
Dhavalikar and Arolkar have implored the opposition parties to reconsider their decision for if they do not, then the 140 crore people of India will not forget their egregious insult to democracy and to their electorate.
“The action of opposition parties will echo the annals of history, casting a long shadow over their legacy,” he said.
