Asked about senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj stating that there is a possibibility of early polls, Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said "these are dreams of Mungeri Lal".

Mungeri Lal was a protagonist of a popular TV serial "Mungeri Lal ke haseen sapne" in which he used to day dream.

"It is living, moving in a dream world and waiting for the sky to fall," said Singhvi.

"There is obviously no guarantee that the sky may not fall on our heads or that Yeddyurappa will stop demanding the Chief Minister's chair. But the possibility of mid-term polls is as remote as that", Singhvi said.

Swaraj had said, "the politics of the country is changing every day, and in view of the present situation, there is a possibility of mid-term Lok Sabha polls."
