Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal and Law Minister Ashwani Kumar drove up to the 7 Race Course Road residence of the Prime Minister this evening and handed letters of resignation. Mr Bansal had left, Mr Kumar is still there.
A few hours ago, Congress president Sonia Gandhi met the Prime Minister. That meeeting was followed by hectic activity at the PM's residence all through this evening, suggesting a churn in the ruling party, which has been bushwhacked by scandal after scandal perilously close to the 2014 general elections now months away.
