Venkaiah Naidu takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi, says 'dynasty is nasty but tasty to some people'

September 16, 2017 12:49

Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday took a not-so-veiled dig at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi by making a rather poetic statement.

"Dynasty and democracy can't go together. Dynasty is nasty but tasty to some people," ANI quoted Naidu as saying. The vice president of India was quick to add: "(I am) not speaking about a party or person."

But that afterthought is clearly not fooling anyone.

Naidu's remark comes merely four days after Rahul's speech at the University of California, Berkeley, in which he (rather nervously) shared his point of view about dynastic politics when asked a question on that issue.
