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."

The prime minister's family members had Friday expressed shock at Kohli's "extremely wrong" and "shameful" decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

His nephew Mandeep Singh told reporters in Amritsar Friday, "The whole family is shocked to learn of Daljit ji's decision. We have been associated with the Congress from the very beginning and will remain faithful to them always. What he has done is extremely wrong. This is shameful and should not have been done."

Kohli joined the BJP Friday during a rally held by the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-BJP in Amritsar in the presence of its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who welcomed him.
