Rahul Gandhi calls on opposition parties, civic groups, others to join INDIA bloc protest march on Oct 12
- On Wednesday, MPs from the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party were absent from a lunch hosted by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge at Sagar Ratna in Janpath, Delhi, after the INDIA bloc's joint protest.
- Party sources indicated most Samajwadi Party MPs had departed Delhi by the time the Congress organized the lunch, while party leaders cited poor coordination and lack of clear communication from Congress regarding the invitation.
- Samajwadi Party leadership expressed dissatisfaction with Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, asserting they monopolized the spotlight during Tuesday's march to the Election Commission rather than maintaining a joint INDIA bloc protest.
- Underlying the disputes are Uttar Pradesh election tensions, where Congress demands about 150-200 of the 403 seats, a position that has reportedly irked Samajwadi Party leaders alongside frustration over Imran Masood's appointment as UP Congress working president.
- Competition persists over the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls, with Samajwadi Party leaders asserting they addressed SIR concerns in Uttar Pradesh more aggressively and effectively than Congress, which took only symbolic steps in Delhi.
