INDIA Bloc MPs Coordinate Protests and Vegetarian Lunches in DelhiPreviousNext

Opposition INDIA bloc MPs, led by Congress leaders including Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, have been staging protests over alleged irregularities in the special intensive revision of electoral rolls and against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The group has coordinated protest strategies and lunch meetings at central Delhi vegetarian restaurants like Sagar Ratna and Moets. Videos and reports highlight Rahul Gandhi's modest meal choices during these gatherings, reflecting the ongoing political mobilization ahead of a major protest planned for October 10.
