New Delhi: BJP MP ShatrughanSinha has suggested demolition at his housecould be a falloutof the support he extended to the party's veteran leader YashwantSinha's stir for farmers in Satara.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had razed illegal extensions and constructions at 'Ramayana', the eight-storey residential building owned by the actor-politician on Monday.
"People are asking me if I am paying the price for honest politics based on facts, figures & truth & for supporting statesman YashwantSinha's support to Satara farmers. I have no answer," Sinha tweeted.
"It could well be! Started with the removal of my security cover in Delhi& now demolition at my residence. In all fairness, it cud also be a knee jerk reaction of BMC after the tragic fire in some Mumbai restaurants. If so, I welcome the reaction..hope BMC continues..2," Sinha, who has had frequent run-ins with the BJP leadership in recent times, said in another tweet.
Sinha said he was inspired by Prime Minister NarendraModi's stress on Swachhata (cleanliness) and toilet construction. He said he got a toilet built on the terrace for people working in the building which did not find favour with Mumbai civic body officials.
Sinha, a two-time LokSabha MP from Patna Sahib had redeveloped his bungalow a few years back and built the eight-storey building where he now lives with his family.
The notice for demolition came shortly after he supported YashwantSinha's agitation for farmers in Maharashtra's Satara. YashwantSinha, a former Union minister, is also not on best of terms with the BJP brass, and has been often critical of the Modi government's policies.
