Manmohan Singh shunned by Congress

Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is seen as a regular in Parliament during Question Hour.

Our sources tell us that Dr Singh cuts a lonely figure in Parliament. Not a single Congress MP goes near to him, nobody speaks to him nor even acknowledges his arrival.

And here's the reason -- his daughter Daman Singh's boom, "Strictly Personal, Manmohan and Gursharan", which doesn't paint a very good picture of the Congress.

That's one thing Dr Manmohan Singh and LK Advani has in common -- both have ceased to exist in a manner of speaking.
