New Delhi, March 2: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh could not resist teasing US President George W Bush on Thursday for not taking his wife, Laura, to the Taj Mahal on his brief trip to India.
Bush has blamed 'the George W Bush schedulers' for not arranging a trip for him to the monument to love, although the truth is Bush is never much of a tourist on overseas travel.
In toast remarks during a US-Indian luncheon, Singh told Mrs Bush, "I'm truly sorry that the President is not taking you to Taj Mahal this time. I hope he will be more chivalrous the next time you are here."
The audience chuckled, then Bush took the microphone and said the sore subject had come up at home.
