Shatrughan SinhaPATNA: Disgruntled BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha, who was a notable absentee at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Sunday rally here, said on Monday the claim by NDA leaders of winning all 40 seats in Bihar is nothing but "wishful thinking".
On his absence from the rally, Sinha said, "I was neither called nor I was interested in attending it."
Gandhi Maidan, the venue of the rally, falls in Sinha's Patna Saheb parliamentary constituency.
Asked if everything was over for him in the BJP, Sinha quipped, "Only time will tell whether my time with the BJP is over or the party's time with me is over."
Sinha, who was a Union minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee cabinet, is at odds with the party leadership after being ignored for campaigning in the 2015 Bihar assembly polls, and has been taking potshots at the PM and BJP president Amit Shah on issues like demonetisation and crises in institutions like the CBI and RBI.
The actor-politician dubbed the claim by Nitish Kumar and some other leaders of the coalition of winning all the 40 Lok Sabha seats as "wishful thinking meant to keep the morale of their party cadres high".
