Manvendra Singh, the son of BJP stalwart Jaswant Singh and a lawmaker in Rajasthan, joined the Congress today and soon after, called it a "difficult decision" that he had thought over for a long time. "I asked my family - and father too, though there was no response," the 54-year-old told NDTV. His father Jaswant Singh, 80, has been in coma since 2014, when he suffered a fall. Manvendra Singh quit the BJP on September 22, describing his disenchantment with the party at a public rally with the phrase: "Kamal Ka Phool, Hamaari Bhool" (lotus (BJP) was my mistake).
