PM saddened by half-brother’s decision to join BJP

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday said he was saddened by the decision of his half-brother Daljit Singh Kohli to join BJP.I feel very sad. I have no control. They are all adults,” he said while replying to queries on the sidelines of the Padma awards function in New Delhi.

Kohli on Friday joined BJP at a public rally in Amritsar in the presence of the party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

The entry of Kohli, a local businessman, into the BJP came a day after the prime minister rejected perceptions of a ‘Modi wave’ in the country.

Singh on Saturday asserted that Congress could again form the government at the centre. UPA-III is not impossible, the PM said.
