Opposition parties in Maharashtra which are currently on a tour over the issue of farm loan waiver contemplate to boycott the special legislative session of GST to be held this week.

"Group leaders of the Congress and the NCP will meet on Friday in Mumbai followed by the MLAs meet to take a call on the matter. Should we decide to attend the session, the proposed amendments will be finalised by the leaders," a senior Congress leader told DNA. The three-day session starts from May 20.

The BJP-led government has not yet relented to loan waiver demands even after their consistent aggressive attack and the four phase 'Sangharsh Yatras' in the state to mobilise the farmers.

This has irked and angered the Opposition leaders. "We have been raising farmers issues for a long time. The Budget Session was washed out over the same issue. But the government's reluctance towards the farmers plight is appalling," says a NCP leader.

Both the parties have already supported the GST in the parliament.
