Taking a jibe at Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde for attending the music launch of an upcoming film in Mumbai hours after serial blasts rocked Patna, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirti Azad on Monday said the former is not able to do anything and is a laughing stock.
"Sushil Kumar Shinde is not able to do anything. Shinde is a laughing stock, like the Prime Minister, not only in India but across the globe, the kind of statements that he gives," Azad said.
"And you find him dancing and releasing music cassettes when innocents Indian dies yesterday in Hunkar Rally. I would say, we should not be asking resignation because they have to go anyway within 200 days now," he added.
Shinde was present at the music launch of Kangana Ranaut's upcoming movie 'Rajjo' in Mumbai last evening.
At least six people were killed and 83 injured in Sunday's serial blasts in Patna, which occurred ahead of Bharatiya Janata Party's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally at Gandhi Maidan.
