At the headquarters of the Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPI-M) crowds have started thinning out. The media in droves is now descending on the Samajwadi Party (SP) office on Copernicus Lane and Amar Singh's residence in Lodi Estate.
The restless souls among the Left leaders who long been fed up with playing footsie with the Manmohan singh government are having a quiet laugh.
The days under the strobe lights with eager-beaver journalists crowding the lawns and milling around A.K. Gopalan Bhawan - the CPI-M headquarters - are drawing to an end, quickly.
The media is rapidly transferring its attention from Marxists to Socialists.
Instead of Prakash Karat - CPI-M general secretary - we now have Amar Singh looming large on the television screen every second minute.
