New Delhi: Taking potshots at his party, BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha praised Rahul Gandhi for minimum income guarantee scheme that promises India’s 20 per cent poorest families will get at least Rs 12,000 per month.
The two-time MP tweeted:
“It’s a masterstroke by the ‘master of situation’, @RahulGandhi - declaring #MinimumIncomeGuarantee scheme. It has rattled our people so much that some of our prominent people had to rush for a press conference, calling the whole declaration/ announcement “chhalkapat”

However, the BJP replaced Sinha with Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad from Bihar’s Patna Sahib constituency.
Sinha, who won the 2014 election representing the BJP, had a fallout with the party leadership after he was left out of the cabinet.
Since then he has publicly criticized the party leadership and the Prime Minister.
