In a reversal of roles in Parliament today, the Opposition came under fire from the treasury benches: ruling party members demanded that Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, Leaders of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, come up with statements to explain the controversy over the tapes involving Ajit Jogi. In Rajya Sabha, as tempers rose, members nearly came to blows. Sonia was not present in the Lok Sabha when the issue came up during zero hour. Their spirits sagging after the Assembly election rout, Congress members could do little except brave the BJP attack.
