Indian PMs half-brother joins BJP

Indian premier Manmohan Singh, whose ruling Congress party is trailing in election opinion polls, has suffered another blow with his half-brother opting to support the Hindu nationalist opposition, according to media reports Saturday. "I feel very sad. I have no control. They are all adults," Singh told reporters in New Delhi, responding to the news as India's marathon general election heads into its final stretch. Singh's half-brother, Daljeet Singh Kohli, a businessman in northern Punjab state, was welcomed Friday into the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fold by the party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, according to AFP.
