Members of the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance took their oaths as Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) on Sunday in the newly formed Maharashtra assembly. This marked their participation after boycotting the oath-taking ceremony on Saturday, which was the first day of the special three-day session of the assembly.
According to PTI, the opposition members, comprising the Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), and the Shiv Sena (UBT), had abstained from Saturday's proceedings, alleging irregularities in the recently concluded state elections. Their primary grievance was over alleged misuse of electronic voting machines (EVMs), a contentious issue raised repeatedly by opposition parties in India.
