Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha on Monday filed his nomination papers from Patna Sahib Lok Sabha seat from where the BJP has fielded Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
Talking to media persons here, Sinha said: "I am very happy to see the crowd gathered during my nomination filing. People have so much excitement today that police had to interfere and control them."
"I am grateful to the people of Patna, our workers, RJD, Congress and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP)," he said.
Sinha, the sitting MP from Patna Sahib, left the BJP to join the Congress earlier this month.
