Yashwant Sinha

AMN / New Delhi

Accusing the Modi government and the BJP of not listening to dissenting voices, Senior party leader Yashwant Sinha today said he had sought appointment from the Prime Minister a year ago but was yet to be given a chance.

‘’Where is it?,’’ he said when asked by NDTV as to whether he did not have any platform in his party to express his views which were expressed yesterday in an opinion piece in a national English daily in which he severely criticised the way the government was handling the economy.

‘’No one is listening to us in the party.

I had asked for an appointment with the Prime Minister, but it is one year, I am yet to get it,’’ Mr Sinha said.

He said he had made the request to meet Mr Modi when he was going to Kashmir, and had his views been listened to the situation would not have gone so bad in the valley.

Meanwhile state of India’s economy ignited a controversy on Thursday with the Opposition Congress assertion that it was headed for the ICU.

The National Democratic Alliance dispensation at the Centre fielded ex-Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha’s son, Union MoS for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha, to salvage its image while actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha joined forces with the Bharatiya Janata Party veteran from the Hindi heartland.

Congress again attacked the NDA.

Mr Shatrughan Sinha endorsed the views of Yashwant Sinha.
