Shimla May, 5: CM Virbhadra Singh said politics had stooped to a new low nowadays. He said he knew the pulse of each and every person in the Opposition and they created furore in the Assembly barely to remain in the limelight. Diverting the attention from discussion on the issues of public interest had become a habit of the BJP.
