Pune Girish Bapat On Opposition To Come For Tea Party - Video
Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday invited ire of opposition Congress and NCP for being unable to attend the customary tea party on the eve of Legislature session on Sunday, with both the parties accusing him of "insulting" them by deciding to skip the function.
Typically, the chief minister hosts the tea party for opposition leaders on the eve of the Legislature session and Fadnavis was also supposed to carry forward the custom tomorrow ahead of the winter session beginning in Nagpur on Monday.
However, Fadnavis will be skipping the event as he is proceeding to New Delhi to attend a conference of Chief Ministers called by the Centre and will not be available throughout the day. He has conveyed his unavailability to Opposition leaders and expressed regrets for his absence, official sources said today.
Fadnavis will be skipping the event as he is proceeding to New Delhi to attend a conference of Chief Ministers called by the Centre.
This decision of Fadnavis--the first chief minister of the BJP-led government in the state--has not gone down well with opposition NCP and Congress.
"Agreed that it is the PM's prerogative to hold a meeting. However, if that meeting was in the evening, Fadnavis could have held the tea party in morning and then left for Delhi," senior NCP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said.
"The CM has the services of the state aircraft at his disposal. There is an airport at Nagpur. He could have managed to attend the meeting and then left for Delhi," he said.
Pawar said, "We were in power for so many years. We never insulted the opposition in such a manner." Congress deputy leader in Assembly Vijay Wadettiwar also expressed shock over the chief minister not being able to attend his own tea party. "This is not the way to treat opposition," he said.
"We might as well not attend the event if this is the situation," he added.

Maharashtra: Devendra Fadnavis to give tea party a miss; NCP, Congress call it 'insult'
Former Canton TEA Party leader Carolyn Cosby will face four separate concerns before the state ethics commission Wednesday, the agencys agenda shows.
Cosby, a former Canton TEA Party leader who resigned to run as an independent against Cherokee County Commission Chairman Buzz Ahrens in the last election, will face preliminary hearings for some of the ethics complaints shes acquired over the past two years of political activism.
The Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, formerly the Georgia Ethics Commission, is set to hold preliminary hearings for three complaints against Cosby to determine if there are reasonable grounds to believe she violated ethics rules in any of the cases.
If the commission determines there is probable cause to believe theres been a violation, those matters would be turned over to the attorney generals office, where Cosby could face fines for any violations, said commission staff attorney Robert Lane.
The commission will vote as to whether there is probable cause (reasonable grounds) to believe that a violation of the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Act has occurred, Lane said. If the commission finds that probable cause exists, then the case is referred to the attorney generals office for further prosecution under the Administrative Procedures Act.
The APA would determine whether or not Cosby would face fines for any violations, Lane said.
The commission will also consider a motion to reattach Cosby to a fourth complaint, which she was removed from in April.
While Cosby faces additional ethics complaints, the commissions meeting Wednesday will only take up four of the six active complaints.
One complaint that is up for a preliminary hearing was made by Canton resident Garrett Jamieson, who contended that Cosby violated Georgia campaign law by not registering the Canton TEA Party as a political committee.
Jamieson, who is an officer in the Cherokee County Democratic Party but filed the complaint as an individual outside of the party, alleges the Canton TEA Party group is subject to state ethics law requiring such organizations to be registered with the ethics commission and report financials.
When she graduated from college in 1981, Jan Tyson made a bold move that would change her life.
I taught myself to drink tea, she said. Because I figured I was an adult then, and I needed a hot beverage. I like the smell of coffee grounds, and I dont mind the smell of it being brewed. But its too bitter for me, and I didnt want to have to put cream or sugar in it. I tried it several times, and I dont like it, I thought, Ill drink tea.
Not easy.
Our nation was founded on tea. It was the drink of the British settlers, so essential that taxes on it led to the Boston Tea Party. But now, the country runs on coffee.
Shoppers barrel through Wegmans with their lattes by their side. Cars line up at Dunkin Donuts and Tim Hortons. Buffalo, home to descendants of immigrants from Germany, Poland and Italy, is especially coffee-centric.
Whats a tea drinker to do?
Jan Ferington, who like Tyson is a tea drinker, admits she sometimes feels out in the cold.
When youre sitting around the table, and they come around with the coffee pot, its kind of weird, explained Ferington, who is co-host, with restaurateur Russell Salvatore, of Channel 7s Come Dine With Me.
People say, You dont drink coffee? she lamented. Its just such a universal thing.
Tyson lives in the genteel village of Kenmore and works for the Presbyterian Church, a denomination that, with its Scottish origins, must be home to more than a few tea drinkers. But she, too, often feels marginalized.

Trade your double-double for a relaxing cup of tea
Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was slammed by the opposition Congress and Nationalist Congress Party or NCP for being unable to attend the customary tea party on the eve of Legislature session tomorrow, with both the parties accusing him of "insulting" them by deciding to skip the function.

"The new BJP-led Government has failed to address the issues of agriculturists in Vidarbha where farmer suicide has once again raised its ugly head."
"The number of farmers suicides so far this year stood at 568 and a drought-like situation is looming large in parts of Vidarbha and entire Marathwada," Wadettiwar told PTI in Nagpur.
