Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha joined the Congress last month as their candidate from Patna Sahib. The seat is currently held by Sinha, who has often openly criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah. Sinha had been at odds with the BJP over several issues and criticised the demonetisation exercise and the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax. He even attended the rally hosted by Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata in January 2019. Sinha will be looking to woo Kayastha voters in the constituency who form a sizeable proportion of the population.
