Sonia’s bid to persuade Lalu, Mulayam fails Updated - 9/3/2010 - ibnlive.com.
Lalu Prasad and Mulayam Singh Yadav, two prominent opponents of Women’s Reservation Bill, had a nearly 20-minute interaction with Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, but both sides appeared to have failed to convince each other. Gandhi, who is also the UPA chairperson, used the period between two adjournments to reach out to the two Yadavs, who along with JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav form part of the trio which is vehemently opposing the bill in its present form. The SP and RJD leaders apparently utilised the time to convey their stand to Gandhi that the measure would hit the weaker sections hard. At one point, Gandhi seemed to be suggesting to them that they should agree to go ahead with the measure in its present form and after that their ideas could be considered. Home Minister P Chidambaram, who was occupying the front row along with Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, apparently seemed to be contesting the claims of the two Yadavs.
