INDIA Bloc Holds Luncheons at Delhi Restaurants Amid Protests Against CECPreviousNext

Opposition leaders from the INDIA bloc, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, held consecutive luncheon meetings at Delhi restaurants Moets and Sagar Ratna amid ongoing protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. These gatherings followed demonstrations near Akashvani Bhavan and Jantar Mantar, where several leaders were detained. The meetings served as forums for coordination, with a joint press conference anticipated. Both venues are noted Delhi institutions with distinct culinary legacies.
