After joining Congress, Sinha says ‘except rise of dictatorship’ no other progress in BJP
Rebel BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha on Saturday joined the Congress and said that except ‘ the rise of dictatorship’, there was no other progress in the BJP.
“The BJP has kicked out all the good people with humble intentions,” the actor-turned-politician said, naming L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Arun Shourie. “Everyone is scared of Modiji in the party. Even the MPs are scared of the Prime Minister. There was no development in secularism or in the actions of the saffron party,” he added.
Sinha also pointed out that the demonetization was the ‘biggest scam’ of the world.
Sinha also targeted the BJP saying demonetisation was the “biggest scam in the world”. “I have always spoken for the wellbeing of our youth and farmers. When I opposed demonetisation, I was called a rebel. If speaking the truth is rebellion, then yes, I’m a rebel,” he added.
