Patna: BJP MP from Patna Sahib Shatrughan Sinha today fired salvo at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not according status of Central University to Patna University by saying it had jolted the people`s expectations. Mr Sinha tweeted, “Our people’s expectations got a jolt when despite specific appeal by Bihar CM, no announcement was made by the Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi to give the status of Central University to Patna University. Nor was any announcement made to allocate the much expected crores of funds specifically for restoration of Patna University to its past glory”. In his another tweet, Mr Sinha said, “Bihar is the strength and weakness of your Bihari Babu. Long live Bihar, Long live Patna University, Long live Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi. Jai Bihar!” Sharpening his attack, Mr Sinha in his another tweet said, “There is now a sense of despondency in Patna and many have started asking if the huge expenditure incurred for the PM’s visit to the University would not have been better spent on upgrading the facilities, laboratories and the overall infrastructure of the University”. In the same vein, Mr Sinha said, “Many of our people now say and believe that ‘No Show is better than Poor Show’. However, I still salute Narendra Modi for gracing the occasion…wish my University all the best. Hope wish and pray that we are still able to do something to restore its past pride. Jai Bihar! Jai Hind!” Mr Sinha, a former student of Patna University had stayed away from the university`s centenary celebrations yesterday.
