The little club of those opposing the women’s quota bill has got a new member. Ajit Singh has joined hands with the Yadav troika of Lalu, Mulayam and Sharad, giving a jolt to the Congress. The Lok Dal leader joined the Yadavs for a strategy meeting at 7 Tughlaq Road at 8.30 am today (Thursday) morning – hours before the start of the day’s session in the Lok Sabha. These leaders, however, are tight-lipped about their plans. Will they block today’s proceedings or bring a motion against the Lok Sabha speaker? The Yadavs or Singh have not revealed their plans yet.
