Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha admitted to hospital due to 'strong fever'

Veteran actor and TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha was admitted to a private hospital here after he developed a "strong fever", said his son Luv Sinha on Sunday. The 77-year-old -- popular for '70s and '80s films such as "Mere Apne", "Kalicharan", "Vishwanath", "Kaala Patthar" and "Dostana" -- is also undergoing an annual check-up at the medical facility, he added. It couldn't be confirmed immediately when Sinha was taken to the hospital. "My father had a strong fever and we decided to take him to the hospital so that he could recover and we could have his yearly tests done as well," Luv told PTI in a WhatsApp message. It has been quite an eventful month for Sinha, who emerged victorious from West Bengal's Asansol constituency for his party TMC in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, followed by the much-talked-about wedding of his actor-daughter Sonakshi Sinha to longtime partner and "Double XL" co-star Zaheer Iqbal on June 23.

INDIA bloc like 'filtered coffee'; Cong can win elections: Shatrughan Sinha

Senior TMC leader and MP Shatrughan Sinha has dubbed opposition bloc INDIA as "filtered coffee" which is gaining momentum ahead of the Lok Sabha polls and emphasised the importance of not discounting the Congress, citing its track record of comebacks in politics. Lauding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for conducting "krantikari (revolutionary) yatras" across the country, the Asansol MP, however, asserted that TMC supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee would be a "game-changer" after the results are announced. In an interview with PTI, the actor-turned-politician termed the electoral bond as a "major scam and extortion racket" of the BJP and said the "seven-phase elections are a boon for the opposition parties to expose the saffron camp's extortion and blackmail racket in the form of electoral bonds." "The BJP will be defeated in this election. If the NDA has the support of the CBI, ED, and Income Tax, INDIA has the support of the masses. Many think that INDIA doesn't .

United opposition could work a miracle in 2024 LS polls: Shatrughan Sinha

Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha said that a united opposition could work a "miracle" in next year's Lok Sabha polls. Sinha, who is on a trip to his home town Patna, told journalists on Friday that he was sanguine about the opposition parties' meet scheduled here on June 23. Lauding Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the "initiative", he also expressed delight that his party chief Mamata Banerjee has agreed to attend the meeting. "I have always held that Mamata Banerjee is a game changer. It is great that she will be there with people like national icon Rahul Gandhi, who has acquired heroic stature after Bharat Jodo Yatra," said Sinha, who was briefly with Congress before joining TMC. The Asansol MP hoped that the meeting will help build a common minimum programme for "the new government which replaces the current regime".

Rahul Gandhi proved leadership abilities through padyatra: Shatrughan Sinha

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has proved his leadership abilities through the Bharat Jodo Yatra, TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha said. In an interview to PTI, Sinha said Gandhi's 3,570-km-long march that began in Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu will help the Congress double its tally in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Congress won 52 seats in 2019 elections. "Bharat Jodo Yatra is getting a very good response. Rahul Gandhi's charisma has started working, and he is getting an excellent response from the people. I feel that Gandhi's yatra will help double the tally of the Congress in Parliament in the next Lok Sabha polls," he said. "This is a 'yatra' in a true sense as Gandhi is walking unlike 'Rath yatras' by BJP leaders. Lakhs of people are coming out in his support. He has proved his leadership qualities. People have accepted him as a leader. And, those who made fun of him as 'Pappu' and didn't take him seriously have been proved wrong," Sinha added. The actor-turned-politician won the Asansol

Vajpayee projected democracy, Modi reflects dictatorship: Shatrughan Sinha

TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha on Thursday said that while the reign of Atal Behari Vajpayee projected 'lokshahi' (democracy), that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflects 'tanashahi' (dictatorship). Addressing a massive crowd during the Trinamool Congress' Martyrs' Day rally here, the recently elected Asansol MP said Vajpayee was a "pro-people father figure and statesman", under whose rule the Bollywood actor was a Union minister. "Vajpayee Ji was different...he projected the 'lokshahi' nature of the government, while Modi projects 'tanashahi' nature of the government," he said. "Unemployment is at a 50-year-high, GST is being corrected every day, hard-earned money stashed by poor women in their houses was made defunct through demonetisation. The debt burden has increased manifold in the last eight years of the Modi government," he said. Sinha, popularly known as 'Bihari Babu', described TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee as the "most acceptable leader in the country" and said, "What Bengal ..
