Recent tweets of Shatrughan Sinha indicates he may join Congress
The recent tweets of Bharatiya Janata Party MP Shatrughan Sinha indicate that he may join the Congress party. The actor-turned-politician Sinha, who is a Member of Parliament from Bihar’s Patna, went all praise for the Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other congress leaders days after Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi launched scathing attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP at the Congress Plenary Session.
Rahul had said that Modi is the name of corruption and Sonia had said sabka saath sabka vikas is all drama.
After the fiery speeches of both of the Congress leaders, Sinha took to twitter to praise them all. Giving credit of raking up national debates on burning issues of farmers and other issues to Rahul Gandhi, Sinha termed the appointment of Gandhi as the congress president a ‘great emergence’. Also, he called the Gandhi’s speech a powerful one. Gandhi’s speech was full of attacks on Modi, BJP national president Amit Shah and BJP.
“Through hard hitting national debates on burning issues of farmers /after effects of demonetization / complicated GST / sealing issue of traders.... The great emergence of newly appointed president INC – the @RahulGandhi & his powerful speech in 84th Maha-Adhiveshan,” Sinha tweeted.
