Baby manages some cozy zzz amid all the buzz

Among the 850 delegates who are attending the 24th congress of CPI(M) is a two-and-a-half-year-old Eva. While the delegates were keenly listening to the leaders’ speech, Eva was sleeping on the table covered with a blanket to ward off chillness of the air-conditioned auditorium. She is the daughter of Anju Maini, one of the delegates and a member of the party’s Delhi Central Committee.

The visitors were enthralled by the captivating performance by folk artistes. Later the stage will be occupied by orators, actors, directors and other celebrities.
