Opposition Stages Walkout Over Congratulatory Resolution for BCCI Treasurer

Opposition parties in the Maharashtra legislative council walked out in protest after BJP MLC Prasad Lad proposed a resolution congratulating BCCI treasurer Ashish Shelar on the Indian cricket team's T20 World Cup victory. The deputy chairperson Neelam Gorhe's refusal to allow discussion sparked further dissent.

In a dramatic turn of events in the Maharashtra legislative council on Monday, opposition legislators staged a walkout after a BJP MLC proposed a resolution to congratulate BCCI treasurer and BJP MLA Ashish Shelar on the Indian cricket team's recent T20 World Cup triumph.

The walkout was prompted by deputy chairperson Neelam Gorhe's decision to ignore opposition concerns, leading to accusations of bias and an escalating protest from opposition members.

Despite Gorhe's suggestion to address the issue in a meeting of party leaders, the opposition rejected the proposal, highlighting ongoing tensions within the legislative council.
