((((Meanwhile, back in India, Congress Party operatives
are trying to pry Amar Singh's Bollywood allies away
from him. )))
' Jaya had been openly critical of the Gandhis, attacking the family for trying to perpetuate "dynastic rule". She became strident in her criticism after becoming a Rajya Sabha member and this is being attributed to her proximity to Amar Singh who has no love lost for Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
'Political circles say it is this "Amar effect" that may have done in the Bachchans. Jaya's outburst against the "dynasty" became more strident a year ago, even as her son Abhishek Bachchan soared to stardom with the success of his film "Bunty Aur Babli". Sensing trouble, Amitabh tried to do some damage control, saying he meant no ill-will for the Gandhis and that after all, he was a "praja" (commoner) and the Gandhis were the "raja" (the rulers).
'Efforts at a patch-up were also made by Amitabh's younger brother Ajitabh, since the latter's wife Ramola, a London-based socialite, has maintained links with the Gandhi family.'
(((The marauders have managed to leak Amar Singh's conversations,
but no one in the press is distributing them.)))

(((The Supreme Court is declaring that no one should publish
Amar Singh's taped conversations. My prediction: they will continue to be spread on disk and eventually leaked to the Net.)))

(((On the other hand, they may well pry Amar Singh out of office
on the same technicality they are deploying against
Jaya Bachchan.)))
