Says democracy is in peril
Former Union Finance Minister, Yashwant Sinha, joined the Trinamool Congress today ahead of the crucial polls in West Bengal.
The 83-year-old, who served as finance minister during the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure as Prime Minister, had quit his earlier party the BJP in 2018; after being in political hiatus for several years.
Sinha is known as a vocal critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
His joining is seen as a “prize catch” for the Trinamool, which has seen a series of defections across all levels. The party suffered its biggest set-back when its Rajya Sabha MP and former Rail Minister, Dinesh Trivedi quit after speaking against Trinamool’s functioning on the floor of the Parliament.
