Although, he indicated to join the Congress party after the BJP denying him party ticket to Patna Sahib ticket, Shatrughan Sinha, on Saturday formally joined the party in the presence of some senior Congress leaders.
On denying ticket, Shatrughan Sinha, in fact, met the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and expressed his desire to join the party. However, his supporters might have fixed the ‘muhurat’ (auspicious day) and hence he joined today.
The actor was welcomed by the Congress party’s general secretary K C Venugopal into the party and described him as the ‘upright politician’, who will not mince words to speak out his mind, and was also in the wrong party earlier.
The others who welcomed him include the party’s official spokesperson, AICC in-charge for the party’s Bihar unit, Shaktisinh Gohil.
Sinha represents Bihar’s Patna Sahib Lok Sabha. The BJP has fielded union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
“Ravi Shankar Prasad ji is a good friend of mine and am only opposing the BJP’s ideology, especially the unprecedented powers seized by the due – Modi and Shah,” he said once.
