The Upper House hardly sees Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh as active as was on Wednesday. The reason was a report published in a newspaper in Delhi regarding possibility of an ordinance over post of profit. <b>Mr Singh from the very early in the morning was in a Rajputi mood,</b> without swords of course, as he led his army of Samajwadi members to well of the House six times in a row. Mr Singh generally keeps quite in the House. But armed with a weapon that the Congress itself had used against him and Jaya Bachchan, on Wednesday he was moving from one seat to another contacting members from all parties except the Congress. He did not seem to mind joining hands with even the BJP. <b>Mr Singhâs hyperactivity seemed to create panic in the Congress benches, </b>which were amazed to see a proclaimed ally hobnobbing with the Opposition. <b>Seeing his jehadi mood,</b> his bete noire Rajeev Shukla left the treasury benches and rushed to meet him on his seat. He held his hand and tried to persuade him to keep the cool. But <b>Mr Singh, like a real Kshatriya</b>, was unmoved and kept leading his army to well, waiving the newspaper and even shouting slogans. A journalist sitting in the press gallery commented very prudishly : <b>âThis is the time for Mr. Singh to show his guts. For the first time he looked like a real agitating Samajwadi.â </b>
