Addressing a press conference at TMC Bhawan, Sinha said, “You must be surprised why at this age.. when I’d distanced myself from party politics … why I’m joining a party and turning active. I would like to say that the country is going through an extraordinary situation. The strength of democracy lies in the institutions of democracy. Today mostly all institutions have become weak. This includes the judiciary too, unfortunately”.
He added, “Nobody is there to put a stop to the government’s whimsical behaviour. You can see what’s happening in the country and nobody seems to be worried. Farmers are sitting at the borders, migrant workers are forced to walk back home. Health, education everything is in doldrums. The aim of the ruling party seems to be to win elections somehow. There is a lot of difference between Atal (Bihari Vajpayee) ji’s party and the one of today. Atal ji believed in consensus, today’s government believes in crushing”.
