BJP timing for Tiranga Yatra wasn’t good: Shatrughan

New Delhi, January 30: Senior BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha feels the timing of the party’s failed campaign to hoist the national flag in Srinagar was not appropriate and that the advice given by key ally JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar to desist from that was “valid”.

The former Union Minister also felt that the party should reconsider the issue of continuance of Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa who is facing charges of irregularities.

In an interaction with PTI journalists, Sinha said the BJP has been able corner the government on major issues of corruption like those related to 2G spectrum allocation, CWG and Adarsh Housing Society and nothing should be done to dilute that.

“When you have a potent issue like JPC into the 2G spectrum scam in hand…it was not politically good time (to go for the Tiranga yatra)…
