The actor-political is contesting the West Bengal by-polls on a Trinamool ticket from Asansol on April 12.
In yet another attack on rival BJP just as the Bengal by-polls approach, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha slammed the Narendra Modi led union government over the rising price of fuel and cooking gas. Mr Sinha, who recently joined the Trinamool Congress at the invitation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, called the union government under PM Modi arrogant and autocratic.
Mr Sinha recalled Atal Bihari Vajpayee's time as Prime Minister saying we had "lokshahi (democracy)" then but under PM Modi we have a "tanashahi (dictatorship)". Mr Sinha, who has been with both BJP and Congress earlier, served as Union Minister during Mr Vajpayee's term.
