A day after lending support to BJP senior leader Yashwant Sinha for his critical piece on the Indian economy , Bollywood actor-turned MP Shatrughan Sinha fired a fresh salvo at the Modi government today.

Sinha in a series of tweets not only endorsed the views of the former finance minister, but also said that it was high time the Modi government comes forward and faces the public.

"The observations of Mr Yashwant Sinha on the state of the economy, strongly endorsed by me as well as many other thinking leaders. People from our party and outside, have been rapidly gaining strength and support over the last two days," tweeted Shatrughan Sinha .

Sinha said that there was a greater support from a larger cross section of leaders and workers in the coming day to address the economic issues which is a matter of grave national importance.

He also cautioned that the matter of economic slowdown should not be diluted by reducing it to a matter between the government and Yashwant Sinha. The former actor was also not in favour of pitting Yashwant Sinha against Arun Jaitley. In one of his tweets he quoted Jagjit Singh suggesting that there would repercussions if anyone raises their voice.

He urged the PM to appear before the press and answer real questions. "Hope, wish and pray that our PM will at least once in a while show that he takes care of the middle class, the traders, small businesses all across the country and specially in Gujarat in the wake of the coming assembly elections," tweeted Shatrughan.

He ended his Twitter rant by tweeting, "Long live BJP/NDA, Jai Bihar, Jai Maharashtra, Jai Gujarat and Jai Hind."

On Thursday, the Patna Sahib MP in a series of tweets said that Yashwant Sinha was a true statesman and that his comments were in the interest of both the party and the nation. "Mr Yashwant Sinha is a true statesman and a tried and tested man of wisdom, who has proven himself as one of the best and most successful finance ministers of the country," Shatrughan had tweeted.
