NEW DELHI: Indian actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha said he decided to go with the Congress labeling it as a national party in the true sense.
Sinha, who has announced that he is quitting the BJP, said he has also “advised” Lalu Prasad to do so, Indian media said.
According to Sinha, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal, among others, had asked him to join their respective parties.
He, however, said whatever be the situation, the constituency Sinha would be contesting in the Lok Sabha polls would be Patna Sahib.
Sinha, who has been criticizing the Modi government, said it was “painful” for him to leave the BJP. (Agencies)
