Why Samajwadi Party skipped INDIA bloc’s Janpath lunch meet
The Samajwadi Party skipped a lunch meet hosted by Congress on October 7, 2026, following a joint march to the Election Commission. Party sources indicated discontent over Congress overshadowing their efforts, but attendance issues were cited as the main reason for their absence. The Congress downplayed the situation, stating many Samajwadi MPs had already departed Delhi before the lunch.
