‘How much loyal he should be towards the party should be decided by him’

New Delhi: BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said actor-MP Shatrughan Sinha’s “identity in politics is because of the BJP and BJP’s identity is not because of him.
How much loyal he should be towards the party should be decided by him (sic). Causing loss to the party even when you’ve taken so much from the party, that is for him to decide. I disagree with his behaviour,” he said.
Mr Vijayvargiya added that a person is assessed by how he or she behaves during victory and defeat. Mr Sinha, who has been severely critical of the BJP leadership, particularly those in the Bihar unit, after he was left out of the campaign for the Assembly polls, said he was “deliberately sidelined”.
“I am not bragging, but I do feel that when the laadla (darling) of the Bihar people, the dhartiputra (son of the soil) and the original Bihari babu was deliberately sidelined, it definitely had an impact on my supporters and fans... I can’t say how much difference it could have been, but I can definitely say some difference would have been there. We could have definitely got more seats than what we got,” Mr Sinha told a news channel.
