A day after being reportedly snubbed by Sonia Gandhi, Arjun Singh has reacted saying that he would always be loyal to her and her family.The senior Union minister and Congressman had in the past few days made statements seen to be controversial within his party, particularly when he questioned the decision-making process within the Congress.And as a result, Sonia Gandhi cold-shouldered him barely acknowledging his presence on Saturday.She went on to praise the prime minister for leaving his personal imprint on the education sector - a clear snub to Arjun Singh who is the education minister.The union minister said that when he met Pundit Nehru in 1960, he pledged his total loyalty to Nehru and his family and have scrupulously adhered to it. He also said that he shall do everything to maintain the loyalty and commitment to remaining members of the family till he lives. He also added that the recent controversy over his remarks is a closed chapter as far as he is concerned.

Shameless boot-licker.
