DMK MPs have descended on Delhi to attend Congress president Sonia Gandhi's lunch on Wednesday at Hotel Ashok, ahead of Thursday's presidential election.

What is amazing is that while some are meeting at TR Baalu's bungalow, three or four are to gather at MK Alagiri's bungalow. The third group, which is unattached to the patriarch Karunanidhi's family and whose number is more, are meeting at a junior DMK minister's bungalow, one hears.

But the more interesting news to trickle out is that former minister A Raja '" remember him? -- is sulking. Possibly because he is keen to attend the Sonia Gandhi lunch but won't be.
