Fodder for gossip mill

Local Congress leaders got a chance to gossip when veteran leader professor Darbari Lal, who had switched loyalties from the Congress to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, was spotted with his ex-colleagues during former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s visit to Amritsar recently. Lal had served the Congress for decades, but left it in the middle of the all-out battle between Arun Jaitley and Amarinder Singh. When the former PM visited the residence of veteran Congress leader RL Bhatia a few days ago, he was seen there as well.
