Shatrughan supports the idea of Cong-BJP coalition Govt

Pointing out that coalition politics has become the norm of the day,Sinha,who has contested the ongoing Lok Sabha polls from Patna Saheb constituency,said past experience has shown that a government formed on basis of “hard bargaining” with regional parties lived “dangerously” throughout its term.

In this scenario,a coalition government of the BJP and the Congress could be “stable,durable and free from trouble,” Sinha felt.

“I am giving this (idea of a BJP-Congress government) as a food for thought,” Sinha,who was a cabinet minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government,said.

There were many examples in the foreign countries of principal political parties joining hands to form a stable government,he said.

Asked who would lead the coalition government in that situation,Sinha said whichever party has the highest number should have its leader as the Prime Minister.
