Disgruntled BJP MP Shatru asks opposition to unite against Rafael deal. Attends Kisan Panchayat with AAP leaders n Yashwant Sinha

The one time popular villain of Bollywood, former union minister and the BJP MP from Patna Sahib, Bihar, now in the catagory of a disgruntled leader within the ruling party, Shatrughan Sinha who is still being tolerated in the saffron party despite his being an arch n ardent Modi antagonist always speaking publicly n vociferously against the PM, his own government and siding with the arch rivals of the party, government and the PM has now clubbed together with another betenoire of Narendra Modi, Yashwant Sinha, losing no opportunity and ocassion to down size and critisize the ruling political dispensation and its CEO.

The Bollywood actor turned MP has now become a big headache for the prime minister Narendra Modi and his government. Not a day is left when this eloquent MP do not tweet twice or thrice letting the government down and insulting the PM of his own government speaking the language of the anti BJP leaders n parties. Shatrughan Sinha is intelligent enough not to leave saffron party in a huff on his own as he fears losing the membership of the parliament under the anti defection law and is waiting for being expelled by the BJP high command, as expulsion does not amount to losing the membership of Lok Sabha. Shatru’s every move is quite an intelligent one as he’s trying his level best to degrade, down size and annoy the PM and the party high command to ensure that he is expelled thus opening the way to join the political party of his choice.

What is most interesting about his anti BJP campaign is that as the elections to the 5 states are coming nearer including the general elections of 2019 Shatru’s tirade against the BJP led NDA government and the prime minister in particular has sharpened alongwith former union minister Yashwant Sinha whom he has pronounced as the Statesman, a term usually used for leaders of eminence and of the stature of late prime ministers n presidents like Nehru n APJ Abdul Kalam etc.

And above all the media of the country, print and electronics is also giving him extensive coverage particularly the television channels like NDTV. If one gives a look of the concerted anti government and anti saffron party campaign of Shatrughan Sinha since the last six months in particular one would be surprised to learn that this actor turned MP has openly sided with those political forces and leaders who had been the BJP’s and the prime ministers arch rival always insulting and criticizing him day in and day out.

Both Shatru and Yashwant Sinha had just a month ago attended the Jan Adhikaar Rally of AAP in Ghaziabad and shared the dias and mike with PM Modi’s bitter critic Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival and his cohorts and lauded them n their policies criticizing the PM. Similarly two days ago both of them shared the stage with the former UP CM and Samajwadi leader Akhilesh Yadav criticizing the BJP lead NDA government.

As if this was not enough today both Shatru and Yashwant Sinha attended the opposition sponsered Kisan Rally in western Uttar Pradesh alongwith the the deputy chief minister of AAP’s Delhi government, the AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh and various other anti BJP opposition leader.

In his firey speech during this Kisan Rally the disgruntled leaders of BJP Shatrughan Sinha and Yashwant Sinha strongly criticized the NDA government and the PM for their involvement in the dubious Rafale deal and appealed the opposition leaders of the country to unite in order to evict the BJP led NDA out of power in the 2019 general elections.

It’s infact a direct and open challenge to the ruling party and the prime minister which straight away amounts to an anti party activity. But despite all this, as usual, there is not a word of dissent or warning from any senior leader of the BJP and the national president Amit Shah.

Sounds surprising and shocking that a saffron party MP openly breaches the party decorum n principles not once, twice but umpteen times by publicly insulting the govt n its PM and the entire party hierarchy is mum.

Political analysts say that the BJP high command is not in a hurry to take action against Shatru as this being an election year the star turned MP’s expulsion will make headlines at the pan India level which may in turn give acceleration or extra energy to the anti BJP opposition to enhance their tirade against the ruling party and badly annoyed Shatru is in no mood tp relent. Under these circumstances the party chief n the PM are tolerating him and not giving him much weightage thus trying to give an impression that his is a non issue and an issue of no relevance. What’s your take friends?
