Samajwadi Party skips Kharge's Delhi lunch, cites communication delay

Samajwadi Party leaders did not attend a lunch hosted by Congress President Mallikar Kharge at a Delhi restaurant on Janpath, drawing queries from other attendees about their absence.

Several lawmakers present at the event at Sagar Ratna restaurant enquired why SP representatives had not shown up. A senior SP official attributed the party's no-show to delayed communication regarding the gathering.

The incident marks a notable absence by Yadav's party from an opposition gathering amid ongoing coordination efforts among anti-BJP parties.
