Shatrughan Sinha to join Congress this week: Report

Patna : After denial of a ticket from Patna Sahib, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shatrughan Sinha will be shifting his stand and join the Congress party this week, said a report. Speaking to reporters at Patna airport, Bihar Congress campaign committee chairman and Rajya Sabha member Akhilesh Prasad Singh reportedly informed, "He (Shatrughan) will join (Congress) either on March 28 or  29 in Delhi."

Shatrughan Sinha had hinted the situation when he had slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan – Congress Mukt Bharat.

Sharing his views on Twitter, he had posted, "By the way Sir, what happened to your promise of Congress Mukt Bharat? Also gone with the wind like 'Smart Cities' and other promises? Don’t worry Sir, it’s now right time for Congress Yukt Bharat Jai Hind."

Shatrughan Sinha got offended when Bharatiya Janata Party replaced him with the Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. Notably, Sinha had got elected for the Lok Sabha in 2009 and 2014 as well from Patna Sahib seat.

Bihar will go for polling during all the seven phases of Lok Sabha elections.
