PM should face people: Shatrughan

NEW DELHI — A day after backing former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha’s views on the economy, actor-turnedpolitician Shatrughan Sinha on Friday advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “come forward and face the people”.

“It’s high time and right time that the Prime Minister and head of this democracy comes forward and faces the public and the press for answering questions, in a real press conference,” Shatrughan Sinha said in a series of tweets.

He also wished that “PM will at least once in a while also show that he takes care of the middle class, the traders, the small businesses... all across the country and specially in Gujarat in the wake of the coming assembly elections”.

Shatrughan Sinha’s remarks came after Jaitley on Thursday described Yashwant Sinha as a “job applicant at the age of 80”. —
