Reward announced for absconding caretaker in retired IAS officers murder in Bhopal
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 4 (IANS) Police have announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Varun Kumar, the absconding caretaker accused in the murder of retired IAS officer Rakesh Agarwal at his residence in Bhopal. The accused has been on the run since the incident, and a dozen police teams are currently searching for him across five states. According to police sources, a reward of Rs 50000 has been announced on him, as the search for Varun Kumar is underway in Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Teams are conducting raids at his possible hideouts and locations linked to his relatives. Family members in Patiala and other places have already been questioned. Technical teams are actively analysing the accuseds mobile and digital footprints to track his movements. Police have also examined CCTV footage of the routes he took after the crime. Investigation so far indicates that after the incident, Varun reached Bhopal railway station and boarded a train heading towards Delhi. Preliminary police investigations have revealed that the accused, Varun, is originally from Gwalior. He obtained the documents using his elder sister's address, who lives in Patiala, Punjab. Police are now coordinating with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Police to intensify efforts to arrest the accused. With the help of the cyber cell, the accused's mobile phone's IMEI number and tower location are being analysed to trace his movements. Separate teams have been deployed to gather information about his possible contacts and potential hideouts. Retired IAS officer Rakesh Agarwal was murdered on Wednesday morning at his residence in Surajnagar, Bhopal. His body was found lying on the floor of a room, with sharp-weapon injuries visible on the neck. Locks of the almirahs in the house were found broken. In the kitchen, the pipe of an LPG cylinder had been disconnected, filling the entire house with gas, suggesting an attempt to set the house on fire after the murder. Police said the investigation is progressing on multiple fronts, with teams continuing to comb through digital evidence and physical locations linked to the absconding caretaker. Further details are expected as the multi-state search intensifies, and technical analysis yields more leads.

Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana on Sunday slammed the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his remarks regarding the condition of tribal communities in Madhya Pradesh. Rebutting Gandhi's claims, Mahana stated that continuous electoral mandates in the state reflect the ongoing support and welfare of its tribal population. Dismissing the opposition's allegations, Satish Mahana emphasised that repeat mandates are a direct indicator of public confidence, asserting that no government can remain in power for five terms without delivering genuine results to its core constituencies. Governments have been formed there continuously for 5 times with the support of the tribals. If any government does not talk about the interests of the people, it cannot come back to power, said Satish Mahana. Mahana further targeted the Leader of the Opposition for maintaining what he characterised as a persistently dismissive stance toward democratic outcomes and constituti...

Relief materials are being delivered to all homes: Swatantra Dev Singh on flood situation
Uttar Pradesh Jal Shakti Minister Swatantra Dev Singh on Sunday said that rainfall in the last 15 days is almost 25 per cent of the annual rainfall and relief materials are being delivered to the homes of all affected people. The rainfall that has occurred in the last 15 days is almost 25 percent of the annual rainfall, happening in just 15 days... Due to the rainwater, the water level of the Gomti River has risen, and this is the situation in this area for the first time since 2008. However, the government took immediate notice... Relief materials are being delivered to all homes... The administration is on the job, and if diseases spread after the floods, arrangements for doctors are also in place here. Due to the lack of rain, the water in small rivers has started to recede, so relief will be provided there as well, but it will take some time for the current accumulated water to drain..., Singh told ANI.

Now carpet city's new identity is Sant Ravidas Nagar Bhadohi: CM Yogi Adityanath
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4,(IANS) Countering the allegations made by the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said on Sunday that Congress' latest actions were an insult to the mandate of the people of the nation. He added that the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the first non-Congress party in India's history to win with a clear majority in 2014 and that Kharge was trying to call that party 'illegal'. Recently Kharge made remarks demanding the dissolution of the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies, saying that all the elections were illegal and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Ministers of all the BJP-ruled states were illegal. Mallikarjun Kharge, a leader so senior that he is even older than Rahul Gandhi's father, why does he want to own Rahul Gandhi Ji's deranged mindset? And with all due humility, I want to ask Kharge Ji that when your election took place, not one, but several Congress leaders had asked to at least provide the list of the Electoral College, that is, at least provide the list of the electoral board. But Congress did not provide it, Trivedi said. So the first question that arises is that your (Mallikarjun Kharge's) election to the post of Congress President itself is illegal. Remember the second scene when there was the nomination of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Ji or Rahul Gandhi Ji. Everyone would remember that video where other family members were sitting inside the nomination room, but Kharge Ji was not even allowed to enter because it was believed that if he entered, it would become illegal, the BJP MP added. He said that the entire Congress should apologise for their words. He noted that before 2001, Congress had already vanished from certain states of India. He said that Congress had not won in Tamil Nadu since 1967, despite the state having 39 Lok Sabha seats, nor has it won in Bengal since 1977, where it holds 42 seats. Furthermore, the party (Congress) has vanished from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar since 1990. Challenging the Opposition, Trivedi asked, Are you trying to call the BJP government -- which won with a clear majority- illegal? Mr. Kharge, I want to name those states where Congress could never make a comeback. Reportedly, Mallikarjun Kharge demanded fresh polls on Saturday, saying that since all the elections are illegal and that all the Ministers of the Cabinet, including Prime Minister Modi, were illegal, fresh polls should be conducted using ballots.

SP dissolves district, metropolitan units in UP's Gorakhpur after press club clash
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Oct 4 (IANS) The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Sunday dissolved its district and metropolitan organisations in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur with immediate effect, along with the executive committees of all frontal organisations associated with the district. The decision covers party office-bearers and members associated with Gorakhpur at various organisational levels, from the district level to the state level. According to an order issued by the party, the Gorakhpur district President and the entire district executive committee have been dissolved with immediate effect. The metropolitan President and the metropolitan executive committee have also been removed. The responsibilities of the office-bearers and members of the district and metropolitan executive committees, as well as those holding positions in the party's various frontal organisations, have also been terminated with immediate effect. The scope of the decision extends beyond the local Gorakhpur organisation. The SP order states that, under the leadership of party President Akhilesh Yadav, the Samajwadi Party's district executive committee, including the Gorakhpur District President, and the metropolitan executive committee, including the Metropolitan President, have been dissolved with immediate effect. It further states that the District Presidents and Metropolitan Presidents of all frontal organisations in Gorakhpur, along with the office-bearers and members of their respective executive committees, have also been relieved of their organisational responsibilities. The party order also makes it clear that the office-bearers and members of the Samajwadi Party's state executive committee associated with Gorakhpur, as well as those serving on the state executive committees of all frontal organisations connected with the district, have been removed from their respective posts with immediate effect. The sweeping organisational action comes at a time when a dispute had erupted among party leaders during a press conference at the Gorakhpur Journalists' Press Club on Saturday. According to reports, the disagreement initially arose over seating arrangements during the press conference but subsequently escalated into a heated exchange involving verbal abuse and a physical altercation. During the incident, the former district President of the party was allegedly assaulted and slapped, further intensifying the dispute among the party workers and leaders present at the venue. The incident subsequently came into the spotlight after a video of the altercation surfaced. The video reportedly led to wider discussions within the party and raised questions over organisational discipline and the conduct of party workers in public. Following the developments and the emergence of the video, the party leadership decided to take comprehensive organisational action in Gorakhpur.

'Congress exposed itself on shuddhikaran row': U'khand CM Dhami (IANS Interview)
Digital Desk | Dehradun, Oct 4 (IANS) Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday lashed out at the Congress, accusing it of fabricating issues, while claiming that the grand old party has exposed itself over the alleged purification ritual performed at the Haldwani event venue of party President Mallikarjun Kharge. In an exclusive interaction with IANS at Uttarakhand's border town of Banbasa, the Chief Minister spoke on a range of issues, including the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. IANS: This is the first time that a government in Uttarakhand has held a Cabinet meeting near the India-Nepal border. Any specific reason behind choosing Banbasa? CM Dhami: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pledged to bring border areas into the mainstream for their development, prioritising them as first villages. He (PM Modi) had declared from the Mana village, that it along with similar border villages, would henceforth be designated as first villages and that their development would be prioritised. The villages would be comprehensively established, and planned by capitalising on their future potential. On those lines, the state government visited the Banbasa-Tanakpur region, home to the revered 'Maa Purnagiri Dham' and situated along the sacred banks of the Sharda river. This area is historically significant as it shares border with Nepal, and hosts an Army cantonment board and a large contingent of paramilitary forces. The region also serves as a route for the Kailash-Mansarovar and Adi Kailash pilgrimages. It boasts of numerous religious sites and also borders Uttar Pradesh. Holding the Cabinet meeting here has been a positive experience and has been well-received by the public. We intend to continue this practice, demonstrating that the Uttarakhand government can make crucial state decisions from any location. We believe that the Uttarakhand government should go to every place, big or small. The government's work should be decentralised. As the 'Mukhya Sevak' (chief servant), there are many places in the state where no one had ever gone before, but I have reached those places. We will continue making such efforts in the future as well. IANS: Uttarakhand is the first state in India to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). How do you look back at the process? CM Dhami: Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, we contested the elections in Uttarakhand in 2022. Then, we had promised the people here that we would bring a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) law. The people of Uttarakhand blessed us with their mandate, and we fulfilled the promise we had made to them. The draft for UCC was prepared under the chairmanship of Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, after consulting with everyone and holding discussions with all stakeholders. We are happy that under the leadership of PM Modi, the people of the state blessed us with their mandate and we fulfilled the promise made to them. Now it is being followed by others (BJP and NDA-ruled states). IANS: Rahul Gandhi has made series of allegations against the Narendra Modi government during several of his programmes, including 'Chhatron Ki Goonj'. What are your views on the LoP's campaign? CM Dhami: The 'Yuvraj' (Rahul Gandhi) is completely unacquainted with India's culture and values. It is not reflected in his conduct or his upbringing. After all, would anyone mock the gesture of a Prime Minister offering a chair to an elderly mother? He (Rahul Gandhi) is no longer acting like the Leader of Opposition. He aspires to be a comedianor rather, he has turned into a comedian on public platforms. He is engaging in such low-level antics and displaying such undignified behaviour. Ajit Doval (National Security Advisor) is the son of Uttarakhand who brought pride to the entire nation. He has dedicated his entire life to India's securityboth internal and external. The language which has been used to describe him (NSA Ajit Doval) is appalling. I believe that not only the citizens of the country but especially the people of Uttarakhand will never forgive him (Rahul Gandhi). Making such comments is extremely hurtful. Members and leaders of the Congress previously used terms akin to street thug to describe the late General Bipin Rawatthe first CDSwho also belonged to our state. This reveals their true mentality. IANS: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had alleged purification ('shuddhikaran') of his event venue in Uttarakhand's Haldwani. The Opposition had accused the BJP of playing a role in it. What are your views on this matter? CM Dhami: In Haldwani, members of the Scheduled Caste communityour artisan brothers and Valmiki brothersperformed a 'Shuddhi Havan' (purification ritual) because 'jihadi' slogans were being raised there. Mess is created at the rallies; liquor bottles are thrown, and other forms of trash and litter are left behind. It was a religious site, yet it was politicised with claims of insults to individuals or casteseven though there was no such incident before or after the event, nor any press release or video evidence was available. In fact, members of the Dalit and Scheduled Caste communities themselves participated in it. When the truth came to light, the Congress party was completely exposed. They have no real issues, so they fabricate them. So after a few days, they have to face embarrassment. IANS: The Opposition is staging protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. How do you view it? CM Dhami: No issue was ever raised while SIR was conducted earlier in the country. This time, fake entries are being removed, and the votes of infiltrators are being deleted. Those who have their names registered in multiple places are being brought down. Earlier, elections were influenced through these (fake) votes. There used to be electoral malpractices and bogus voting. Daughters who are married and have moved elsewhere, why should their votes remain on the rolls? It should be at their new location. And for those who have passed awaywhy should their votes still exist? Why should votes exist for people who have moved away? So, their (Opposition's) modus operandi is to oppose everything, sometimes they oppose the Election Commission, sometimes EVMs, sometimes our administration or the official machinery, and at other times, they make remarks against the High Court or the Supreme Court.
Facts over fearmongering: BJP counters Cong over 13 crore 'deletions', shares 'explainer' on SIR
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) Amid widespread controversy over the discrepancies in the Election Commission's 'flawed and partisan' Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and Opposition's clamour for action, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday issued a detailed rebuttal of charges while accusing Congress, the principal opposition party, of resorting to 'fearmongering'. BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde shared an 'explainer' video on his X account, to counter and debunk the litany of charges against the Election Commission (EC) and also reject accusations of ruling BJP's involvement in the whole episode. The 'explainer' video addresses slew of issues ranging from 13 crore voter deletions, purported changes in Form-6, alteration in ECINET format, among many others. The 13 crore names were not deleted -- they were flagged for verification in categories such as deceased, absent, transferred, or duplicate. The final action takes place after the processing of claims, objections, and appeals, BJP leader Tawde said, recently appointed as the party's Uttar Pradesh In-charge. Giving break-up of the proposed deletions in draft electoral rolls, it explains that about 2.6 crore voters were recorded dead, three crore absent at given address, 6.3 crore permanently shifted to different locations and one crore duplicate voters were registered. It also adds that the detailed information was shared with about 20 lakh booth level agents of all parties. No changes were made to alter Form-6. All three Election Commissioners were in consonance on the additional details added with the Form-6 and it had the approval of Supreme Court, it claims. The 'explainer' video also rejects claims of centralisation, saying that there was no structural change in the framework and the local EC staff, including Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) were fully equipped to handle voters' request at local level. The BJP leader accused the Congress of indulging in fearmongering, in a bid to conceal the facts and also urged people to follow the facts rather than getting swayed by Opposition's 'lies and fakery'. Saying that SIR's objective is to include every voter and not disenfranchise anyone, it informs that 2.3 crore new Gen-Z voters have been added so far since the SIR drive started last year and today, the total strength of Gen-Z voters stands at 17.3 crore. Dismissing the 'vote chori' allegations as means to befool and mislead the electorate, it says the poll panel always acted within the statutory powers and the SIR drive in all states that went to polls (Bihar and West Bengal) were duly upheld by the apex court.

Akhilesh Yadav should definitely visit Ram Mandir, seek Lord's blessings: Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary said that Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav should definitely visit Ram Mandir and seek Lord Ram's blessings. Speaking to IANS, Chaudhary said, Akhilesh Yadav should definitely come to Ayodhya; Hanuman Garhi and the Ram Mandir are near. He should come. There is pain and regret in his heart after witnessing the growth and development of Ayodhya despite his wishes. Ram Mandir is the symbol of crores of Hindus' faith and devotion so he should definitely come. After all, development has happened, and Akhilesh Yadav can see it. Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's scheduled visit to Ayodhya has drawn calls from several political leaders, urging him to visit the Ram Temple and seek the blessings of Lord Ram. SP leader Rajeev Rai said, Lord Ram first defeated Akhilesh Yadav in Lok Sabha elections, and then he (Lord Ram) guided Akhilesh ji to see the theft that is going on in Ram Mandir. Probably Lord Ram wants the sinners to be removed, and that's why Akhilesh Yadav might be going there. What is the issue in that? Meanwhile, Union Minister SP Singh Baghel said, In a democracy, everyone has the right to go wherever they want. Going to Ayodhya is their right. He can visit the temple for any political or societal reason. Whether they visit the temple or not it is their own decision. If they cannot go to the temple for the appeasement of a certain vote bank or the satisfaction of the Muslims, if he doesn't go to the temple owing to polarisation, then it is wrong, he added. India is a secular nation, and it doesn't ban anyone from going to any religious place, but if you have been avoiding a certain place of worship to appease a certain someone, then it is wrong, Baghel said. Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad said, Look, I welcome him (Akhilesh Yadav) to Ayodhya, even if it is late. He should also visit the Ram Temple for darshan because there is also a statue of Nishad Raj alongside Lord Ram. He should visit the temple and apologise for his past mistakes. A person can make mistakes, but we should apologise for our mistakes as well. BJP national spokesperson Ajay Alok said, Great, Ram Lalla's site will be wonderful! He should go and fall at Ram Lalla's feet, ask for forgiveness, and say, 'My father made a huge mistake by ordering fire on the kar sevaks. I haven't come here all this while because I was also wrong. Please forgive me.' We hope Ram Lalla will forgive him. Akhilesh Yadav is scheduled to visit Ayodhya on October 8 to attend the concluding session of the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, a week-long religious programme organised by former MLA and SP leader Tej Narayan Pandey. The SP Chief is expected to spend around an hour at the programme in Krishnaapur-Khanpur Rasoolabad. He is also expected to offer prayers and interact with devotees attending the gathering. Akhilesh Yadav's Ayodhya visit comes at a politically significant time for the SP, with political activity beginning to gather pace ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The party has earlier announced Tej Narayan Pandey, popularly known as Pawan Pandey, as its candidate from the Ayodhya Assembly constituency for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh polls.

High commands decision final on alliance, says new UP Cong chief amid seat-sharing concerns with SP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) Amid the ongoing seat-sharing deadlock between Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, newly appointed state Congress president Aradhana Mishra has said the decision regarding the alliance will be taken by the party's high command. Mishra stressed that the INDIA bloc was formed at the national level and decisions concerning the alliance, whether at the state or central level, would be taken by the national leadership. I would like to reiterate that the INDI Alliance does not form alliances at the state level; it is formed at the national level. The national leaders of all the parties that are part of the alliance came together on one platform to form this alliance. Whatever decisions are taken, whether for the states or at the Centre, regarding the alliance will be decided by the national leadership, she told IANS. Her remarks come amid uncertainty over seat-sharing arrangements between Congress and the SP in Uttar Pradesh, where both parties are part of the INDIA bloc and are expected to coordinate their strategy against the BJP in the 2027 Assembly polls. Mishra said the Congress remained committed to the alliance, Congress stands with everyone. We have upheld the principles of alliance politics, and we will continue to do so. I would like to say that our goal today is to remove the corrupt and unsuccessful Bharatiya Janata Party government in 2027 and form an alliance government, she said. The UP Congress chief also spoke about Congress leader Rahul Gandhis Satyagraha portal, drawing a parallel with Mahatma Gandhis Satyagraha against British rule. Satyagraha was started by Mahatma Gandhi against the British. It was a movement that united the country. Today, another Gandhi has started this movement, and the circumstances are the same. Today, the countrys democracy and Constitution are under threat. The way Rahul Gandhis Satyagraha movement is gaining popularity makes it clear that things Rahul Gandhi said earlier, which people did not accept at the time, are now being understood, and people are relating to his views... Mishra said. She also reiterated Congress demand concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that the exercise had led to the deletion of a large number of names from voter lists. A resolution to this effect was passed by our highest body, the CWC, and we demand that the process be stopped immediately. In the name of SIR, a large number of names have been deleted from the voter lists, affecting the election process. This happened when two members of the three-member Election Commission made serious allegations against their own Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, she said. Mishras comments come as Congress seeks to strengthen its organisation in Uttar Pradesh while maintaining the broader opposition alliance ahead of the crucial 2027 Assembly elections.

Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Oct 4 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadavs scheduled visit to Ayodhya has drawn calls from local religious figures urging him to visit the Ram Temple and seek the blessings of Lord Ram.

SP chief and former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is visiting Ayodhya, and we hope he will visit the Ram Mandir to seek His blessings. In recent days, a financial irregularity occurred, and he tweeted about it. When asked how he found out, he claimed that Ram Ji told him. Therefore, he must touch Lord Rams feet. If he doesn't, it will send a message that he wants to demean Sanatan Dharma, Paramhans Acharya said. Devesh Acharya, a priest at Hanumangarhi, also welcomed Yadavs proposed visit and said he should visit the Ram Temple along with his family and seek Lord Rams blessings. Former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is coming to Ayodhya on October 8, which is good news. We want him to visit the Ram Temple and seek the blessings of Lord Ram along with his family, since he is coming here to attend a religious event. He must apologise to Lord ram for coming late. If he doesn't do so, it will reflect his party's anti-Sanatan ideology. Returning without doing darshan would be highly unfortunate for Akhilesh Yadav and his party, Devesh Acharya said. Yadav is scheduled to visit Ayodhya on October 8 to attend the concluding session of the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, a week-long religious programme organised by former MLA and SP leader Tej Narayan Pandey. The SP chief is expected to spend around an hour at the programme in Krishnaapur-Khanpur Rasoolabad. He is also expected to offer prayers and interact with devotees attending the gathering.

INDIA bloc victory matters more than individual party wins, says Akhilesh Yadav
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday stressed that the primary objective of the INDIA bloc should be victory rather than the number of seats won by individual parties, saying that a united effort is necessary to defeat communalism and protect democracy, the Constitution and reservations. In a post on X, Yadav said that when the goal is clear and the focus remains fixed on the destination, the journey becomes easier. When the goal is clear, hand in hand we stand, When the gaze is fixed on the destination, the journey becomes easy! The big thing isn't how many seats the alliance gets or which seat goes to whom - the big thing is that we all must ensure that the victory belongs to the alliance. Let us repeat again: It's not about the seats, it's about the victory, he added. Yadav expressed confidence saying, This victory will be greater than the parties in our alliance - it will be the victory of all of us, of that united effort that persists in struggle so that communalism may never raise its head again, so that BJP's influence may not touch democracy, the Constitution, or reservations, and so that the country's harmony may bloom once more, and the nation's progress and prosperity may smile again. Yadav's remarks come at a time when the Samajwadi Party and the Congress are preparing to begin deliberations over seat-sharing for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The formula for a pre-poll alliance between the two parties is yet to be finalised, with seat allocation emerging as a potential point of contention. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Shiv Pal Singh Patel on Saturday questioned the Congress' reported demand for 150 seats in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. He said the Congress should seek seats in proportion to its electoral strength and organisational presence in the state. Speaking to IANS, Patel said, I think if they are given 50 seats, they should look at their actual position and status before seeking anything more than 50 seats. They should look at their past record. The six seats we got in Madhya Pradesh were because of the Samajwadi Party. Therefore, if they do this, there will be our candidates as well as theirs on several seats. This will only lead to a loss, so they should agree to 50 seats. Earlier on Wednesday, Yadav had hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying that its iggest sorrow was that the INDIA bloc was united. He made the remarks after BJP leaders criticised him for skipping the INDIA bloc's meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday. However, the Samajwadi Party was represented by its other leaders at the meeting.
