Actor-turned-politician and BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha on Thursday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a press conference as his predecessors have done in the past and take “candid extempore questions”.
“Sir, we all saw your well scripted, choreographed, well researched and rehearsed TV interview on Monday evening. With due respect to the anchor, wonder lady, Smita Prakash, isn’t it high time and the right time to enhance your image as an able and capable leader taking candid extempore questions?” Sinha, who is a vocal critic of the Prime Minister, said in a series of tweets.
Attacking Modi for not taking questions from the media, the BJP MP from Patna Saheb said, “We know you don’t want to face them but at least have the courage to answer questions from the tall statesman Yashwant Sinha and learned journalist Arun Shourie.”
