Sinha: Celebs Used, Not Trained; Slams Kangana Ranaut's Independence Remark

  • Shatrughan Sinha criticized political parties for using celebrities for votes without proper training, referencing Kangana Ranaut's controversial independence remark.
  • Sinha cited Dharmendra's single term as an MP, suggesting parties fail to guide and educate celebrity politicians after elections.
  • He emphasized that parties should teach recruits basic facts, like when India gained independence, before placing them in public roles.
  • Sinha contrasted this lack of training with his own political mentorship under senior BJP leaders like L.K. Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
  • He noted a pattern of celebrity politicians, including Sunny Deol, leaving politics after one term due to disillusionment.

Why It Matters: Celebrities are used for votes, not trained to govern, impacting political quality.
