When Yashwant Sinha was made a joint opposition candidate for the presidential election, questions arose about his son and BJP MP Jayant Sinha. In response to his official Twitter handle, Jayat said that the opposition has declared my respected father Yashwant Sinha ji as the Presidential candidate. I request all of you not to make it a family affair. I am a BJP worker and MP. I will fully fulfill my constitutional obligation.
aware that Yashwant Sinha Earlier, he has been included in the strong leaders of BJP. He was also very close to the Sangh. He was one of the key people of the central team in the Atal-Advani era. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was convinced of his administrative ability. At the same time, Advani also liked him very much. But with the beginning of the Modi era, Yashwant’s stars started coming in the dark.
Like other senior leaders, he was also marginalized. First the ticket was denied, then he started missing from the important meetings of the party. He said sharp things against Modi-Shah. Along with Shatrughan Sinha, he has also been seen as a rebel of BJP. Although it is also a coincidence that Mamta Banerjee gave new life to both of them. Sent Yashwant to the Rajya Sabha and got Shatrughan to win the Lok Sabha elections.
However, his own son Jayant had to pay a hefty price for his rebellion. In Modi-2, he was shown the way out of the cabinet. As of now, he is not in any important role. It is believed in political circles that the sharpness of Yashwant’s tongue drowned Jayant.
Obviously Jayant is still stuck between two poles. On one side there is BJP which made him MP twice and he was also a minister in Modi’s last term. As a minister of state, important departments like finance and civil aviation were given to him to handle. On the other side is the father, who has been fielded by the opposition as the presidential candidate. There is a dilemma for them. But Jayant Sinha made his stand very clear.
Love you all?
My respected father, Shri Yashwant Sinha ji, has been declared a candidate for President by the opposition.
I request all of you not to make it a family affair.
I @BJP4India I am an activist and MP. I will fully fulfill my constitutional obligation.

People on social media gave strong advice to Jayant. Aditya Verma wrote that do not do this family drama here. Do we not know that if you do not respect your father, then what will you do to the public? You are a useless MP and son. That’s what is expected of you. Sourav Roy asked him that you will be in support of respected father or in opposition?
