Days after BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha disapproved of the aggressive tone of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speeches during the Karnataka Assembly elections campaign, the dissident lawmaker from Bihar on Saturday took to Twitter and launched a tirade against the Prime Minister.
Sinha in a series of tweets criticised PM Narendra Modi for “mocking definitions of another national political party in any election” and Rahul Gandhi’s Prime Ministerial ambitions.
“It’s not at all becoming of the PM of 130 crore countrymen to make mocking definitions of another national political party in any election. The hon’ble PM sounds like he’s trying to teach abbreviations of words to KG children. Sir, the entire country isn’t a school,” he said.

Slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi over making definitions and labeling Congress as PPP — Punjab, Pondicherry and Parivar —, Sinha said that this is a form of “petty politics”, which “proves a fear of falling and failing”.
Making such definitions (PPP-Punjab,Pondicherry & Parivar) is a form of petty politics & proves a fear of falling & failing. Elections cannot be won with this “ART”, rather it is won by winning over “HEARTS” of people – with or without the most talked about & feared EVMs…2>3

He further said that “people expect at least a mature and analytical growth based speech” from our country’s Prime Minister, while adding that “It appears that you are the only registered authority to hold & retain the highest chair!”.
People expect at least a mature & analytical growth based speech from you Sir, if nothing more. It appears that you are the only registrd authority to hold & retain the highest chair! We too raised slogans till you got into the chair with our promotion, protection & projection.

“Sir, you received our full support along with full media support & now you are raising slogans so that it isn’t taken over? What’s wrong if the President of biggest, oldest National Party sees the possibility & wishes to be next PM..if he wins the upcoming elections?,” he said.

While praising Congress president Rahul Gandhi, he said that he is “very much liked” by the general public and added that “to become the PM one needs no qualification or special wisdom”.
Sir. He is popular with the general public & very much liked by them. Anybody can dream & dreams would only come true if you dream. As said earlier, to become the PM one needs no qualification or special wisdom….@BJP4India

The BJP MP from Bihar also said that in India “Anybody can become PM in our democracy. Naamdar, Kaamdar, Daamdar or for that matter any average Samajhdar, if he has the numbers & support”. Sinha was referring to PM Modi’s “naamdar” (dynast) jibe at Rahul Gandhi, adding that Rahul Gandhi has really matured over the years.
Anybody can become PM in our democracy. Naamdar, Kaamdar, Daamdar or for that matter any average Samajhdar, if he has the numbers & support. Why are we making such a hue and cry about it? After all isn’t it their internal matter & any PMship has to be through verdict of majority.

By the way, the president of the oldest party has really matured in last few years & has been raising some pertinent question which we are refusing to answer or even entertain. The Neerav/the Lalit/ the Mallyas/the Bank/the Raffael deal & so on..@narendramodi @BJP4India

“Instead of answering, we go for “Attention Diversion Politics” – an art which we have mastered, far from development & other issues. However Sir, it’s a matter of our people, our politics & our latest policies“so less said the better”. With regards to you! Jai Karnataka, Jai Hind!,” he added.
