It is pointless to fret over who would be the prime ministerial candidate of the opposition, since what matters is clarity as to who must be stopped from returning as PM, actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha said. The Trinamool Congress MP also called his party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee a "tried and tested" leader who would be a "game-changer" in next year`s Lok Sabha polls.

"It appears `achche din` (good days) of my friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, are over,` said the `Bihari Babu`, who quit the BJP four years ago, famously saying that the party had become a "one man show, two man army". "We have been hearing this talk of who will be the leader since long. People used to ask the same question till Nehru was around. It is pointless for the opposition to occupy itself with this thought. The important part is, there is clarity with regard to who must be stopped from returning as PM,` the former Union minister told reporters on Wednesday night.
