Sins of the father visiting the son?

Union minister (MoS finance) Jayant Sinha can hardly be blamed for thinking so.

Jayant's father, former union minister Yashwant Sinha was among four senior leaders -- L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Shanta Prasad --  to issue a stinging statement in the wake of the Bihar debacle that the party was being forced to kow-tow to a handful. The statement said the BJP's consensual character has been destroyed, and it has been emasculated in the last year.


An embarrassed Jayant Sinha has been compelled to cancel a quiet dinner he was planning to host for foreign investors and top honchos from India Inc. Our sources tell us he believes it's better to keep a low profile till the  dissidence issue blows over.

Some things however cannot be swept under the carpet.
