Satrughan Sinha speaks about BJP as a real “Shathru”

Shatrughan Sinha is an Indian film actor turned politician. Apart from being member of Lok Sabha (2009-2014, 2014-2019) and Rajya Sabha twice he was also Union Cabinet Minister of Health and Family Welfare (Jan 2003-May 2004) and Shipping (Aug. 2004) in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. He was elected to 15th Lok Sabha in 2009.

On Wednesday,Satrughan Sinhatermed BJP’s poll strategy in Gujarat as “desperate” and “panic-driven”. Drawing a parallel with the BJP’s Delhi and Bihar election campaigns, he said since the party had lost these two states last year it should be wary of repeating the same mistake.

He referred to the host of BJP leaders who have visited the poll-bound state as star campaigners hoping to draw the crowds, saying “this kind of strategy doesn’t work”.

By pumping in so many leaders at the same time in our own state Gujarat, like we did in Delhi, aren’t we showing signs of panic & desperation in anticipation…generally speaking this kind of strategy doesnt work…we’ve seen it in Delhi & Bihar. Nonetheless our best wishes..!!

“By pumping in so many leaders at the same time in our own state Gujarat, like we did in Delhi, aren’t we showing signs of panic & desperation in anticipation…generally speaking this kind of strategy doesn’t work…we’ve seen it in Delhi & Bihar Nonetheless our best wishes..!!”

The BJP leader had on Tuesday tweeted that PM Narendra Modi is the only star campaigner for the party in Gujarat and the other “so-called star campaigners” should refrain from making ”any personal attacks & allegations against individuals & opponents’ even if the crowd turnout is ‘lukewarm, moderate, cold or good”.

The MP from Patna is known never to mince his words even if it is against his own party. He had earlier critisised the Central cabinet ministers calling them ‘a bunch of sycophants’ and said, “They are here not to do something creative or constructive….they are just busy saving their jobs.”

Taking digs at Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and ?Smriti Irani who heads the Ministry of Textiles, he had said, …, then why cannot I speak on these issues.”
