In an apparent tactical move to counter RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav’s reported “no-family” jibe at him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a tirade against what he termed as ‘dynastic parties’ by saying “Mera Bharat Mera Parivar” (India is my family).
Indirectly referring to the jibe directed at him, Mr. Modi fired a fresh salvo at ‘family-centric’ parties at a public meeting held in Telangana’s tribal heartland of Adilabad on Monday afternoon.
Mr. Modi said: “Dynastic parties have common characteristics of lying and looting. When I questioned the politics of nepotism and appeasement by the dynastic parties, some members in the Opposition alliance INDIA Bloc started criticising me saying that I had no family.”
