Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha has been taking a lot of digs at his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), ever since the Bihar defeat.
Many have speculated on whether he would be shown the door by his party soon, but for now, the Congress party s using his comments to take potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Reacting to Sinha’s criticism of the BJP, Congress leader tom Vadakkan said:
“Whom all will they hold responsible for the Bihar debacle? The Prime Minister addressed more than 25 rallies, Amit Shah ji held 30-40 rallies. The people of Bihar have given them answer. There will be meltdown in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) if they start taking responsibilities.”
Senior Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad said that the actor-politician is upset with Prime Minister Modi as all the responsibilities of the Bihar elections was given to party president Amit Shah.
“He (Shatrughan Sinha) considers Modi ji responsible for the Bihar debacle and wants introspection for the defeat. Shatrughan Sinha is upset with Modi ji as all the responsibilities of the Bihar elections was given to Amit Shah.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Sinha had sought an explanation from those ‘responsible’ for the Bihar debacle and said they were answerable to the ‘real stalwarts’ of BJP.
Those responsible for the debacle must answer what, why, where & how it all happened. They must satisfy the real stalwarts/veterans of BJP.
