Affectionately called Shotgun for his Bollywood antics, BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha loves to create ripples in the pool of politics and keeps everyone including his own party bosses guessing about his real agenda. He has done the same again. Despite being at loggerheads with the BJP leadership of Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi since 2015 Bihar Assembly election, Shatrughan Sinha on Thursday (July 19) declared support for his party “in these troubled times” and opposition to the no-confidence motion moved by the TDP and supported by most of the Opposition parties. Leaders such as Shatrughan Sinha and Yashwant Sinha should resign from the BJP and then they can go to any extent to abuse the party and its leaders, says Disciplinary panel chief. Sinha, who has represented his native Patna Sahib as a BJP MP for two consecutive terms, said his remarks on various issues which have not been liked by some party leaders, were meant to “show the mirror” to the BJP and cannot be termed as “anti-party.”
“Instead of guessing whether they (BJP leaders) will give me ticket or not speculation should be whether I will take the ticket or not,” Sinha told PTI.
Sinha, popularly known as “Bihari Babu”, has on several occasions made it clear that the “place (constituency) will be the same, even if the situation changes.” He said the loss of power in three states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh is enough to show that the situation is not good in the NDA. “Many people have left, some others are preparing to leave and others driving tough negotiations. All said and done the party’s popularity and that of one leader and two-men Army have taken a beating,” he said.
Besides meeting Prasad and praising his younger son Tejashwi Yadav as “Bihar’s face” and “its future”, the BJP leader has been frequently seen sharing
