Rashtra Manch News

Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Saturday virtually announced his return to party politics by saying that he will launch an outfit which will contest the assembly polls due later this year and dislodge the NDA government in the state to create a "better Bihar".

Sinha, who resigned from the BJP last year and has floated the Rashtra Manch, a non-party platform, said his advice to opposition parties was that they should come together and form strong alliances and have a common minimum programme at the national level.   

Sinha, who launched a political platform 'Rashtra Manch' recently to take on the NDA-led central government, said being a citizen of India was a bigger thing than being a BJP member. 

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders are voicing their opposition to the launch of 'Rashtra Manch', the political platform launched by senior party leader Yashwant Sinha against the policies of the Central government. Telangana unit of the BJP on Wednesday hit out at Yashwant Sinha saying that he had "crossed all the limits" and should quit the BJP.

Yashwant Sinha likened the present situation to that which prevailed 70 years ago when Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
