Bugged by bugs

Congress President Sonia Gandhi's iftaar party was held just hours after listening devices were apparently found at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister Nitin Gadkari's house, so the conversation inevitably focussed on this development. The Congress brass joked that the minister may accuse the Congress of being behind the bugs and one leader added that there was obviously more interest in the BJP camp about Gadkari's doings than about the Opposition. Told that the minister had gone on Twitter to state that the report was "highly speculative" the leader laughed and added, "If I were in his place, I too would have denied it."
