Shinde embarrassed |
August 28 2012 |
Ever since Sushil Kumar Shinde has become the Parliament leader of the party in place of Pranab Mukherjee, he manages to get into some trouble or the other. For instance, he got caught in a tussle with Jaya Bachchan in Rajya Sabha. When the entire Parliament was roaring with chaos about Coal-gate, Shinde approached Opposition Leaders Sushma Swaraj to request her to work towards making the Parliament run smoothly. Before he could get to her, Madam Swaraj saw him and gestured to him to rest assured and talk later. But when Shinde tries to sit down next to Swaraj and talk to her about the same and looked around her, he noticed that all the seats around her were occupied. Shinde thought maybe it was all right after all to speak to her while standing, but Madam Swaraj kept the formalities in mind and got a seat next to hers vacated. She then requested him to sit down and said, “Please sit down. In any case, this is going to be your seat after the Lok Sabha elections.” The way Sushma hit the barb, there was nothing left for Shinde to do but feel embarrassed. |
