Former Finance Minister and senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha lost his cool on Tuesday on the issue of who will become the next Chief Minister of Jharkhand while speaking at a programme organized for discussing State’s expectations from the forthcoming Union Budget.
Sinha disdainfully rubbished questions about his aspirations of becoming Chief Minister of the State and said, “It does not matter if a……. (unprintable slang) becomes a CM. The priority is the development of the State and making roadmap for the same.”Many called it a slip of tongue, others criticised the use of a slang at a public platform but Yashwant appeared to be at ease venting his ire on the issue of leadership in the State being discussed in the BJP and outside ever since he became active in the State after vacating Hazaribagh seat for his son, Jayant Sinha and went to jail following a protest against poor electricity supply in the State.
The leader also derided Government for poor development of State and accused financial mismanagement for taking the State on the path of budgetary deficit from a State with surplus budget.
