Patna: Shatrughan Sinha slams chowkidar
Sinha, who is expected to join the Mahagathbandhan comprising the Congress and the RJD besides several smaller parties.
Patna: BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha, whose ties with the party appear to be all but severed, Thursday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Main bhi Chowkidar” campaign as a hollow rhetoric that lacked punch.
Sinha, who is expected to join the Mahagathbandhan comprising the Congress and the RJD besides several smaller parties, came out with a series of tweets decrying the campaign that is meant to be a riposte to AICC president Rahul Gandhi’s “Chowkidar hi chor hai” barb at Modi.
“Happy Holi to you, Sirji. Once again I will remind you politely but firmly do not get into the sting of the operations of #Chowkidar. The more you are defensive of Chowkidar, the more the nation will be reminded of unanswered questions about the Rafale deal which the people have been desperate to know,” Sinha’s tweeted.
The tweet came in his trademark style refraining from mentioning the prime minister by name but dropping ample hints to suggest whom he was referring to.
