"I feel no sense of loss, as I see this as an electronic machine victory for the BJP" - Shatrughan Sinha "I feel no sense of loss, as I see this as an electronic machine victory for the BJP" - Shatrughan Sinha As the ballot count proved to go against Shatrughan Sinha’s victory in the Patna Sahib constituency the man Bihari Bahu himself seemed unfazed by the outcome. “It’s all part of the great political design of this country. You win some you lose some. I feel no sense of loss, as I see this as an electronic machine victory for the BJP. Nevertheless a victory is a victory, no matter how it is obtained. I’d like to quote my mentor and guru Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji’s poem to explain my frame of mind at the moment: “क्या हार में क्या जीत/ में किंचित नहीं भयभीत मैं /संधर्ष पथ पर जो मिले यह भी सही वह भी सही/वरदान माँगूँगा नहीं” Shatruji feels no malice towards his victorious opponent. “I wish Ravi Shankar Prasad all the best from the bottom of my heart. He is a good soul. I hope he works tirelessly for the welfare of Patna’s people. As for me, I am from Bihar and I shall remain linked to the grassroots. You will see me in Bihar even more often now than you did earlier. In fact I’m already planning another trip to my hometown.” Shatruji has words of praise for the victorious Prime Minister. “No matter how it happened, victory is his and I want to congratulate our dynamic Prime Minister. The Modi Magic is intact. My best wishes to Modiji and master strategist Amit Shah.” How does Shatruji perceive his defeat? “As an opportunity to work harder for the betterment of the poor. Power or no power, my goals as a politician remain the same. I am in this to build the nation, not my bank balance.” Also Read: “Situation changes, location remains the same”, says Shatrughan Sinha after ouster from the BJP http://bit.ly/2JBIdOP
