| New Delhi, Aug 1: Congress MPs are a confused lot, with the first week of the monsoon session of parliament passing off virtually without any business being transacted . It is being said the absence of party president Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul have slowed down the Congress, if not left it rudderless.
Speculation is rife that Sonia along with Rahul last week went off to the United States to attend to her ailing mother Paola Maino, who has been hospitalised.
When asked about the absence of the duo in parliament, party spokespersons played it safe, saying the reasons "may have been very compelling". However, they gave enough hints that "if Sonia is absent, it means either she is out of Delhi or indisposed."
As the political scene became surcharged, with the opposition parties stalling parliament over the price rise issue, it was left to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to steer the party. (IANS) |
