People urged to uproot dynasty politics by the Kharges in Kalaburagi

Pointing to veteran Congress leader and All India Congress Committee president M. Mallikarjun Kharge and his family, BJP State unit vice-president N. Mahesh has called upon people to uproot the dominance of dynastic politics.

“First, I should enjoy power. My son will enjoy it after me. If my grandchildren are not yet ready to enter politics, my son-in-law will take the reins. This is called dynastic politics. This is what is happening in Kalaburagi. Is Kalaburagi the property of their [Kharge] family? Isn’t there any able leader in the district who can get elected in the elections and represent the people? After the end of the tyranny of Hyderabad Nizam in Kalyana Karnataka, these people [the Kharges] have emerged as the new Nizams. We need to fight dynastic politics and uproot it,” he said.

He was addressing a gathering of people at Bhima Samavesh, a Dalit conference, held at S.M. Pandit Rangamandir in Kalaburagi on Wednesday. The event was organised by BJP’s Scheduled Castes Morcha.
