BJP declines to comment on Shatrughan’s remarks
March 18th, 2010 - 11:15 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, March 18 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday declined to comment on party MP Shatrughan Sinha’s remarks on the composition of the new team of office-bearers announced Tuesday.
BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi refused to comment on Sinha’s remarks, in which he seemed to indicate his resentment over the new team’s composition.
“No comments,” Naqvi said.
Sinha Thursday recited lines of an old Hindi film song in answer to a question about the new team. “Uff na karenge, lab see lenge, aansu pee lenge (I will not sigh, will seal my lips and swallow my tears),” he told a TV news channel.
Sources close to Sinha said the actor-turned-politician felt that some deserving people had been left out and the team had not been able to give a message of dynamism.
Sinha became the first senior leader to be critical of the composition of new team. BJP sources said a few office-bearers were also not satisfied with the posts given to them but have decided against voicing their views to the media.
