Patna: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shatrughan Sinha on Wednesday heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking the initiative, bridging the gaps and attempting to build consenus with political opponents.
The Patna Sahib MP made these comments days after a bonhomie between the arch rivals was in full display on Saturday, with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar urging PM Modi to "keep visiting" the state while the latter gesturing masses chanting "Modi, Modi" to calm down while Kumar spoke.
Lauding PM Modi's and Kumar's bonhomie, the actor-turned politician tweeted, “Delighted that our dashing, dynamic PM has taken the initiative in bridging the gaps and moving towards consentual politics....”
