Shatrughan Sinha has always stood apart from other BJP members and supporters, in his outspoken unbiased opinions on anything ranging from the BJP government to the opposition.
Like all other frustrated Indian citizens who are tired of watching politicians playing the blame game instead of forming a constructive political atmosphere, Shotgun criticized Bihar’s politicians for hurling allegations and creating a “violent atmosphere”.
The BJP leader's remarks came at a crucial time when the party has been accusing both the leaders of being involved in corruption cases.
BJP’s Sushil Kumar Modi has been firing accusations at RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav of accumulating of acquiring Rs 1,000 crores through benami deals.
He alleged that Lalu’s children have bought properties illegally, and have several shell companies to their names.
While Lalu of course denied all allegations, slamming Modi for dragging his family name to the mud deliberately.
Kejriwal, too, has been accused of being involved in corrupt practices by suspended AAP legislator Kapil Mishra.
Despite coming from BJP, whose members have been at loggerheads with AAP’s members from the very beginning over opinions on governance and corruption, Shatrughan had no qualms about holding AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal in high esteem, although, he said even Kejriwal should stop accusing other politicians without furbishing proof.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushil Kumar Modi responded with a demand that the "enemies of the party" (Sinha) must be "removed" at the earliest.
Slamming Sinha, Modi said that it was not necessary to believe the actor and the party must remove such "traitors".
"It is not necessary to believe the man who is famous. The traitors must be sent out immediately," Modi tweeted.
"When Nitish (Kumar) didn't come out in support of Lalu (Prasad), the enemies of BJP have jumped in his support now," Modi said.
