Rebel BJP leader and sitting MP from Patna Saheb, Shatrughan Sinha has gone on a Twitter rampage against his own party after he was overlooked for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and replaced by Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad from the constituency.

While he chose not to address this matter in his latest remarks, the much famed actor-turned-politician raked up the matter of veteran leader LK Advani being overlooked in Gandhinagar for party president Amit Shah to slam his party.

Sirji, instead of playing Rafale Baba & Chalis Chokiwdar, which has already fallen flat on its face, it's high time & right time to take some corrective measures (if you still can) & go for damage control soon, sooner the better. Meanwhile it's worrisome, painful and according to

some people, even shameful... that which your people have done was the most expected & awaited....orchestrating the departure of a most respected friend, philosopher, guide, father figure & ultimate leader of the party Shri. L.K.Advani, from the political arena/ election.

That too through the replacement of Mr. Advani by none other than the man who is also the President of the party but whose image or personality is no match nor a patch on him. This has been done deliberately & intentionally & hasn't gone down well with the people of the country.

He is a father figure & no one can approve of such a treatment to a father figure. What you & your people have done with me, is still tolerable. I'm able & capable of answering your people back in the same coin. Remember Newton's third law...every action has an equal and

But having done the same to stalwarts like - to begin with respected, Shri Yashwant Sinha ji, followed by most learned Arun Shourie

one of the top builders of the party, Shri. Murli Manohar Joshi ji & now last but not the least, Shri.L.K.Advaniji smacks of ingratitude..

Nonetheless, people are watching at this hour, to give a befitting reply for all this that is being done by the one man show & 2 men army company. Long Live Shri. Advaniji! Jai Hind!

Former deputy PM LK Advani was not given a ticket for the upcoming polls, and in his place, BJP chose its party president Amit Shah to fight from the Gandhinagar constitiuency.

While Shatrughan Sinha's tweets suggest he targeted BJP over the Advani matter, his attack can be related to him being replaced from the Patna Saheb constituency, given the development took place earlier in the same day.

Sinha was replaced and the decision to contest Ravi Shankar Prasad from the crucial Bihar seat was taken by the BJP's senior leadership at a meeting held at party's headquarters in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah.

These developments come amid speculation that Sinha may be given a ticket by the Congress party to contest the elections again from the Patna Sahib constituency.
