Veteran actor and senior BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha has come out in support of former minister and party leader Yashwant Sinha, saying his remarks on the economy has hit the nail right on the head.
On Wednesday, Yashwant Sinha took on Modi government and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over the state of the economy in an opinion piece title - I need to speak up now.
Questioning the current methodology to calculate the GDP, Yashwant Sinha said the private investment has shrunk as never before in two decades, industrial production has all but collapsed, agriculture is in distress.
"Mr. Yashwant Sinha is a true statesman and a tried and tested man of wisdom, who has proven himself as one of the best and most successful Finance Ministers of the country. He has shown the mirror on the economic condition of India and has hit the nail right on the head," Shatrughan Sinha said in a series of tweets.
Further stating that Sinha's utterances are always very well thought through and must always be taken seriously, Shatrughan Sinha said, " It would be childish to be dismissive or to make light of his recent observations. Our elder brother must be appreciated and applauded for coming out with this."
The BJP leader also said that he was of the firm opinion that everything that has been written by Mr Sinha is entirely in the party's and National interest. "Only recently our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated that the Nation is bigger than the Party. National interest comes first," he wrote in a tweet.
Sinha also hoped that all those people who matter in the party ponder over what has been said by Yashwant Sinha and and remedial action is taken soon, sooner the better. "Long live BJP/NDA. Jai Hind!," he added.
However, Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Piyush Goyal - defended the economic situation, asserting the Indian economy is the fastest growing in the world.
