Priyanka to PM: Indians are not fools

March 20, 2019 11:10

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on PM Narendra Modi's tweet that the biggest casualty of dynastic politics are institutions: "The BJP has systematically attacked every institution in the last five years including the media. PM should stop thinking people are fools and understand that they see through this."

Narendra Modi tweeted this morning to say:

‏

"The biggest casualty of dynastic politics are institutions.

From the press to Parliament.

From soldiers to free speech.

From the Constitution to the courts.

Nothing is spared.

Sharing some thoughts."

He added a link to a blog saying "India voted to shed the baggage of the past in pursuit of a better future. The mandate of 2014 was epoch-making also because it was for the first time in the history of India that a non-dynastic party was blessed with a complete majority. When a Government works with the spirit of 'India First' instead of 'Family First', it shows in its working."

Tariq Anwar of the Congress also reacted to PM's tweet, saying, "Narendra Modiji is saying this as he does not come from a dynasty. How can one who who does not come from a dynasty say this? Tell me one profession where dynasty is not encouraged."
