Veteran BJP leader Yashwant Sinha accuses his party of 'Cheap Trick' Empty Veteran BJP leader Yashwant Sinha accuses his party of 'Cheap Trick'

 Yashwant Sinha, BJP veteran, today told NDTV that "the easiest and cheapest" response to his hardcore criticism of the government's handling of the economy is to attribute it to the ranting of a frustrated man benched by his party. He also said that if his son, Jayant Sinha, who is a union minister, was asked to write an opinion piece today defending the government, "It is a cheap trick to turn a son against his father." The 84-year-old said that's what journalists have reported to him. "He is doing his dharma, I am doing mine": the former Finance Minister said about their opposing takes.


He also said that those who may share his concerns within the BJP are afraid to speak up because they are worried they will not be re-nominated as candidates for the next election, now just two years away. As for himself, he said, he opted out of electoral politics in 2014 by informing then party president Rajnath Singh that he would not run for parliament. So those who claim he is irascible because his political ambitions have been thwarted by an unfriendly PM are wrong, he said...


"Demonetisation came when the economy was already declining," he said about the PM's sudden banning of high-denomination notes. "It was hardly the right time for massive disruption of the economy. When demonetisation was done, it was well known that government was working on GST...everyone familiar with subject would have known that GST would be another big disruptor of the economy. Sequencing has been wrong, they have come in close succession of each other."
