A correspondent in Delhi: Union Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad had some words of praise for Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj -- during Question Hour on the last day of the 15th Lok Sabha -- over the eradication of polio from India.

"Polio mukt bharah sambhav nahi hota unless my illustrious predecessors had not played a key role,' said Azad.

When BJP leader Shanawaz Hussain muttered, quite audibly, that soon Narendra Modi will ensure a 'Congress mukt Bharat', his comment was greeted with boisterous laughter and a smile from party patriarch LK Advani.
