Shatru to join Congress on 6th April. Meets Rahul Gandhi on Thursday

The arch rival of prime minister Narendra Modi and the actor turned veteran politician, the former union health minister in Vajpayee’s government and BJP MP from Patna Sahib has met the Congress party chief Rahul Gandhi at his Delhi resident and e pressed is hearty desire to join the Congress party for the good of the people n the country. Extremely jubilant and satisfied Shatrughan Sinha expressed his desire to formally join the Congress on 6th of April, the auspicious day of first Navratra.

There are reports that the Rashtriya Janata Dal president Tejesvi Yadav, the Congress’s alliance partner in Bihar and at the pan India level will also be present on this ocassion. According to reliable sources the popular former Bollywood star and sitting BJP MP would contest on Congress party’s ticket from Patna Sahib against the BJP candidate and union law minister Ravi Shanker Prasad, who gotthe BJP ticket in liue of Sinha’s candidature.

Prominent amingst those present during Shatrughan Sinha’s meeting with Rahul Gandhi were the Bihar Congress incharge Shakti Sinh Gohil, President of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee Madan Mohan Jha, state’s working President Madan Jha and the leader of the Congress party in the Bihar assembly namely Sadanand Singh etc. It may be recalled that the former BJP leader n MP from Patna Sahib considered former deputy prime minister and BJP stalwart Lal Krishna Advani as his leader and political mentor.

He was badly annoyed, disenchanted n furious against PM Modi n the party leaders at the top for not including him in the union cabinet n thereafter insulting the tall leaders like Advani n Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi by keeping them out politically and thus reducing them to the stature of a non political entity.

Shatrughan Sinha has been openly criticizing the PM, senior party leaders n BJP government in the open and had vociferously criticized Modi from various opposition forums of AAP n the Mahagathbandhan platform of the non BJP opposition conglomerate including siding with the BJP detractors like Yashwant Sinha, Arvind Kejrival, Mamata Benerjee, Mayavati, Tejasvi Yadav n Akhikesh Yadav openly appreciating them n down grading the BJP n its leadership. However, he never disclosed his unambiguous intentions about joining any party.

Finally on Thursday i.e.on 28th March he met Congress chief Rahul Gandhi n accepted his request to join the135 year old party on 6th April and also declared his firm wish to contest from Patna Sahib on Congress party’s ticket, come what may ?
