Let us not cross limits: Shatrughan Sinha slams PM Modi for acerbic speeches in Karnataka


Patna, May 11 (Zee News): Apparently sidelined BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha has once again slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for delivering acerbic speeches while campaigning for the party in parts of poll-bound Karnataka.

The actor-turned-politician, who has been very critical of Modi government's policies, disapproved the Prime Minister's aggressive and very hard-hitting remarks made against the Congress party and its president Rahul Gandhi.

On the day when the election campaigning in Karnataka came to an end, he the also sought to offer some 'advice' to his party.

In a series of tweets, Sinha tagged PM Modi and said becoming the prime minister does not make anyone the wisest.

''Sir. Today, the election campaign will come to an end. Regardless of Dhan Shakti (power of wealth)..Ultimately Jan Shakti (power of the people) prevails,'' Sinha tweeted in his trademark style.

His tweets also amply reflected his disenchantment over not being invited as a star campaigner for the BJP in the state elections.

''Even though I am uninvited, like in other states, from Bihar to UP to Gujarat as a star campaigner, for reasons best known to all of us, I shall humbly suggest as an old friend, well-wisher and supporter of the party..Let's not cross limits. Let's not get personal. Issues should be conveyed in the most beautiful way, keeping decorum. 'Maryada' and 'Garima' of the honourable PM must be kept intact,' tweeted the Patna Sahib MP.

Interestingly, he tagged both PM Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah in his tweet.

In one such tweet, Sinha questioned the rationale behind PM Modi making the ''PPP'' remark against the Congress party.

''Why do we come with odd and ridiculous definitions?... Like PPP for INC (Pondicherry, Punjab and Pariwar)'', he tweeted, strongly disapproving the barbs hurled by the Prime Minister at the Congress during his election rallies.

Reactions from Sinha came days after the PM had mounted a scathing attack on the Congress over corruption, and asserted that it will remain "Punjab, Puducherry, Parivar" Congress after its defeat in the Karnataka Assembly polls.

The PM apparently made these remarks while addressing an election rally on May 5.

''Results will be announced on 15th. Anything can happen. Being PM does not make anyone the wisest in the country. For being PM requires no qualification....only majority...While for becoming Shankaracharya one requires great wisdom, experience and statesmanship," Sinha tweeted.

''What happens if your definition changes after results and your PPP becomes of the People by the People and for the People, or for that matter turns into Popular People's Party,'' he said in another tweet.

Sinha concluded by urging PM Modi to ''let the people of Karnataka decide and let the best persons win."

The state goes to polls on May 12 and counting of votes will take place on May 15.

    In the first place, a PM who is holding the highest office and who heads the country's govt. shouldn't campaign during state elections. This can be done by MPs and his ministers.

    Rightly said Mr Sinha our PM has no ethics, doesn't know how to talk. Because he is "unpad gavahaar" We all say congress is For the People, by the People Party. I wish all the best for Siddharamaya. J H

    it depends whom and where you are addressing... as Karnatak CM is very very arrogance and crossed all limits... .it's ok for Modi to cross any limits. Siddu calls PM Modi with all the bad names... cheapter... narahanthaka ( murderer ) and all... so it's ok if Modi crossed the limit.

    Never seen any person stoop so low as this Modi. Whatever Modi delivered in his speech is nothing but outcome of fear of losing and rising popularity of Rahul Gandhi. Cheap pracharak of BJP and must learn how to be a statesman

    Mr Rakesh, what Shatrughan has said is 100% true.
    There is no way you can find fault that.
    It is stupid to support anyone blindly even when they are wrong.

    Modi Ji doesnt know the meaning of Maryada & Garima it seems. He crossed all lines while attacking Congress & Parivar. One should live in Parivar or have his Parivar to know the true meaning. Hope he change his ways in the coming months while canvasing and maintain the dignity of the PM.

    I respect Mr Sinha for his open views in pin pointing Narendra Modi's lack of political knowledge and his inferior oratory. Modi has made a joke of himself by calling names against his opponents. If he was so sure of BJP Victory why did he camped in Karnataka. He knows how to lie and no one else. HOPE and PRAY that the people of Karnataka go by the developments done and progress achieved.
