'PM should face the people, answer questions on economy'

September 29, 2017 11:07

After backing BJP veteran Yashwant Sinha's searing critique of the economy and the government's decisions, the party's Shatrughan Sinha today directed a series of tweets at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"It's high time and right time that the honourable PM and head of this democracy comes forward and faces the public and the press for question answers, in a real press conference," posted the outspoken Shatrughan Sinha, commenting that PM Modi must do so "especially in Gujarat" where polls will be held later this year.

The actor-turned-politician also cautioned that the matter of economic slowdown should not be diluted by reducing it to a matter between the government and Yashwant Sinha. The former actor was also not in favour of pitting Yashwant Sinha against Arun Jaitley.

He ended by tweeting, "Long live BJP/NDA, Jai Bihar, Jai Maharashtra, Jai Gujarat and Jai Hind."

On Thursday, the Patna Sahib MP in a series of tweets said that Yashwant Sinha was a true statesman and that his comments were in the interest of both the party and the nation.
