New Delhi, April 26 (IANS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Saturday he felt "very sad" at his half-brother Daljit Singh Kohli joining the BJP.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Padma awards function here, the prime minister said to a query: "I feel very sad. But I have no control over what others do. They are adults."
