He also tweeted some Urdu couplets, including by Nida Fazli.

In last two days, social media was full of speculation that a noted lawyer has been approached by the BJP and is switching over to it.

According to the theories being floated, the BJP wanted him to for fire fighting as he is main legal mind of the opposition from the Congress to the Trinamool Congress, while the BJP has lost Arun Jaitley and has not found anybody of his calibre.

Singhvi has the confidence of party's interim chief, Sonia Gandhi and has been fighting legal cases for the party from Uttarakhand to Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
