Who says A K Antony never says anything? At a recent party meeting in Ernakulam, Kerala, Antony scolded Congressmen roundly for airing their views about each other - none too complimentary - openly. He said they were crossing limits and warned that if partymen did not observe self-demarcated "lakshman rekha", it could lead to self-destruction. "Various factions are airing their views openly, and sometimes it was crossing limits. If there are differences of opinion, air it out in the party. Such tendencies are akin to chopping off the branch on which you are sitting," he told party workers. And this is just one year ahead of the general elections.
