David Cameron will leave India without meeting Sonia Gandhi, the president of the Congress party widely regarded as the most powerful person in the country, in a blow to his efforts to forge a “special relationship” with New Delhi.

The UK prime minister was scheduled to meet Mrs Gandhi on Thursday in one of the customary courtesy calls made by visiting premiers and heads of state, but the meeting was cancelled without explanation on Wednesday night.

Awkward? To say the least.
