Shatrughan Sinha slammed Modi & Amit Shah for Sidelining Advani, Manohar Joshi and Yashwant Sinha.

Shatrughan Sinha slammed Prime minister Modi and party chief Amit Shah for sidelining the veterns of BJP like LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Yashwant Sinha.

He criticised Modi and Sinha without naming them for not responding to queries being raised in the national interest by Sinha, Arun Shourie and he (Shatrughan Sinha) himself.

He referred to estranged Maharashtra Congress leader Shahzad Poonawala's rant against Rahul Gandhi who is set to be declared the new Congress president and how BJP leaders used the remarks to target the Congress.

"Poonawala vented his 'Shahzaada frustration' in what was clearly an 'internal matter' of their party. But maybe due to wrong briefing, or due to anger and confusion, some of our own people and leaders have jumped in to shed crocodile tears for him on RaGa's (Rahul Gandhi) elevation," Sinha said in a series of tweets.

"On the other hand our own 'one man show and two man army' (a clear reference to Modi and Shah) have been giving unbecoming treatment to some of our most deserving and senior leaders like respected Advaniji, Murli Manohar Joshiji and most deserving Kirti Azad."

"And why is the leadership not responding to queries being raised in the national interest time and again by learned and intellectual leaders like Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie and yours truly Shatrughana Sinha? What is right for Peter should be right for Paul too!" he said.
