Shatrughan: Nitish Kumar is PM material

July 30, 2013 13:55

Actor-politician and senior BJP MP, Shatrughan Sinha has nosedived into controversy with his statement today that Bihar CM and former BJP ally was PM material. The JD-U and the BJP parted ways after the BJP elevated Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as its 2014 campaign incharge.

Sinha had earlier courted controversy when he said senior leaders in the BJP were not being given their due respect or positions, thereby suggesting that the deep chasm between the top rung of the BJP leadership remains unbridged.

Sinha was also one of the notable absentees, along with Advani, at the Goa conclave of the BJP in June, where Modi was chosen to head BJP's national campaign.
