Shatrughan Sinha describes Rahul Gandhi's minimum income guarantee programme as a 'masterstroke'
New Delhi, Mar 26 (IBNS): Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Tuesday praised Rahul Gandhi over the minimum income guarantee programme that will give up to Rs. 72,000 a year to 20 per cent of India's poorest families and called it a 'masterstroke' played by the Congress chief.
"It's a masterstroke by the 'master of situation', @RahulGandhi - declaring #MinimumIncomeGuarantee scheme. It has rattled our people so much that some of our prominent people had to rush for a press conference, calling the whole declaration/ announcement 'chhal kapat'," Sinha, who is a rebel BJP leader, tweeted.

"This is how things are paid in the same coin, that's why it is called 'master of situation' Rahul Gandhi," he said.
Aap kare toh 'raasleela', baki kare toh 'character dheela'! What is right for Peter, should be right for Paul, Sir. The people have welcomed this move & are very excited. Farmers loans have been waived as promised by them recently - in 3 different states.
