Accusing leaders of the Opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc of caring only about the political ambitions of their kin, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 5 said that those who worked only for the welfare of their sons, daughters, and nephews were incapable of working for the welfare of the country.
Addressing a massive rally in Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), Mr. Shah said that leaders in the INDIA bloc of parties did not “practice the politics of principles but of dynasty”.
“There are two camps ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha election. One, the NDA alliance under PM Modi’s leadership, the other, an arrogant INDIA alliance under Rahul Gandhi which is a coalition of dynastic parties. Sonia Gandhi’s aim is to make Rahul Gandhi the next PM. Sharad Pawar’s aim is to make his daughter [Supriya Sule] the next CM of Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray’s aim is to see his son [Aaditya] as CM. Mamata Banerjee’s aim is to make his nephew [Abhishek Banerjee] the CM of West Bengal. Those who work for their sons, daughters and nephews cannot think of their country,” Mr. Shah said.
