Those boycotting parliament inauguration are dynasty-run parties says J.P. Nadda

With the dispute over the inauguration of the new parliament building intensifying, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief J.P. Nadda on Friday attacked opposition parties for boycotting the event.

Shortlisting the political parties that are boycotting the parliament inauguration, Mr. Nadda said that what connects them is that all of them are ‘dynasty-run political parties’, whose monarchic methods are at loggerheads with the principles of republicanism and democracy in the Constitution of India.

“These dynastic parties, particularly the Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, are unable to digest a simple fact that the people of India have placed their faith in a man hailing from a humble background. The elitist mindset is preventing them from thinking logically,” he said.
