Mamata Banerjee seemed most content introducing BJP dissidents Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie and Shatrughan Sinha on her Brigade dais on Saturday and suggested more seniors in the party had been denied respect by the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah duopoly. To (Nitin) Gadkariji?” Mamata asked, as Yashwant and Shatrughan were seen laughing on the dais. Yashwant was finance minister, Shourie minister of communications and information technology, and Shatrughan the health minister. According to Shourie, Modi knows the “reality” and will fight hard. “Matbhed ho toh ho, manbhed na ho (there can be differences of opinion, but do not let differences of mind come in the way).”Yashwant Sinha Pradip Sanyal
