Patna, Oct 25 (IBNS): BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha on Sunday said his absence from the campaigning from the Bihar Assembly polls was 'not by choice'.

He said 'insecure local leaders' made him keep himself out of the campaign.

"My party workers, friends, supporters and well-wishers wonder why I am not seen on the campaign trail....I assure them it is not by choice," Sinha tweeted.

"Been kept out thanks to insecure local leaders who we know very well..who have fed matter of convenience stories to the party leaders," he said.

"Not a question of Bihari vs Bahari..but of how your own Bihari (Babu) has been treated by own people for no fault...However, in the larger interest of Bihar and its people, I hope wish and pray that our people get the support and trust of the voters," he said.

Sinha reportedly shared uneasy relationship with BJP's state unit.
