Congress president Sonia Gandhi's Iftar party will be held this evening at The Ashok hotel in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi.


As the time of Iftar is 7.24 pm, the event is scheduled to start a little early, at 6.45 pm.


Bihar chieftain Lalu Prasad Yadav has already declined Sonia's invitation as he is in a sulk that the Congress party finalised an alliance with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar before he could seal a deal with the latter, thus strengthening his rival's hands.


The Bihar chief minister is expected to attend the Iftar, but his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee has turned down the invitation.


The Iftar assumes political significance as it is being held a week before Parliament's monsoon session begins.
