"A guilty mind is always suspicious. I did neither name anyone nor any leader. I just mentioned the word BJP's 'Shatru' (enemy of BJP)," he told reporters indirectly taking a dig at the actor-politician.
When pointed out that the word 'Shatru' was mentioned in inverted comma in his yesterday's tweet, senior BJP leader said that "Shatru to inverted hota hai (Shatru (enemy) will be put in inverted always)."
"It is the central leadership which has jurisdiction to take action against any MP," he said.
Angry over the use of word "Gaddar" (traitor) for him by Sushil Modi, second-term Lok Sabha member from Patna Saheb, Shatrughan Sinha fired fresh salvos at him.
"To comment on utterances out of frustration & desperation made against me by some vested interests & spoilers of inner party democracy," he twitted.
"Some people who are wholly & solely responsible for our party's debacle in Bihar r today crying hoarse, hoping to regain their lost image," he further wrote on the micro blogging site.
Bihar BJP president Nityanand Rai apparently disapproving Shatrughan Sinha's utterances said, "Nobody should utter anything opposed to the party's view."
With two senior BJP leaders locked in a bitter fight, the RJD and JD(U) tookm an aim at the saffron party.
Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav took a dig at Sushil Modi through a Tweet: howcome a person calling a senior leader a "Shatru" be himself "sushil" (humble)?
