Notwithstanding differences, Shatrughan Sinha says he will vote for BJP

BJP Member of Parliament from Bihar Shatrughan Sinha has clarified that notwithstanding his differences with the saffron party he will vote against the opposition's no-trust vote in Lok Sabha today. The BJP MP also made it clear that he has no intention to quit the BJP before the 2019 general election. "I am a member of the BJP and will follow party command as a disciplined soldier...I will be with the party during the troubled times and go with it to defeat the opposition-sponsored no-confidence vote," Sinha said.


His remarks came amidst reports of his growing proximity with RJD Chief Lalu Prasad and his family in recent times. Apart from meeting Lalu Prasad in Ranchi jail, Sinha also attended a Iftaar party on June 15 hosted by his son and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav while giving a slip to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party on the same day.



Sinha has been criticising the leadership of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and various policies of the government through his tweets.

The actor-politician justified his critical comments on different issues, saying it was like showing "mirror" and that he would continue doing so in future."But, this is all within the family," he said.

The two-term MP also made it clear that he has no intention to say goodbye to the BJP.
