A month after quitting BJP, Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha attacked PM Modi and said that "It's time for PM Modi to pick up his jholi and leave.”
A 72-year-olf actor-politician recalled the words of PM Modi in 2016. PM had said, “What can my opponents do to me? I am a fakir. I will take my jhola and leave." Recalling the words of PM Sinha said, "Mamata Banerjee is our friend and the iron lady has rightly said that his expiry date is over. Now I only wish him well, wherever he wants to go. He used to say I will pick up my jholi and walk away. Now it's time for him to pick up his jholi and go away," Sinha said.
