Actor Shatrughan Sinha On Who He Would Love To See As PM

A firebrand leader like Mamata Banerjee, who has a mass base, would fit the bill, said Shatrughan Sinha.

Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Monday said he would love to see West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as the next Prime Minister of the country.

Mr Sinha, who is a member of the Trinamool Congress, headed by Ms Banerjee, made the statement in response to a query as to how he saw Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as a prospective Prime Ministerial candidate.

"It would be very good for the country that at a time when we also have a woman as the President, we had a woman as the Prime Minister too. A firebrand leader like Mamata Banerjee, who has a mass base, would fit the bill," he told PTI in an interview.
