PM Modi Meets UP BJP Leaders, Slams Dynasty Politics

In a weekly meeting, PM slams oppositions.

New Delhi: After winning the Assembly election in 4 states, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it was his decision not to field children of BJP MPs in the recent state elections, in which the party won in four states.

In the first weekly meeting of BJP MPs after the party's spectacular election wins, Prime Minister Modi said, "Several MPs and party leaders were seeking tickets in the recently concluded elections for their children and many of them were denied. BJP MPs' children did not get tickets to contest because that comes under dynastic politics. They did not get tickets because of me."

Taking notes from BJP MP Rita Bahuguna Joshi's son Mayank, who joined the Samajwadi Party just before polls after being denied a BJP ticket to contest in Uttar Pradesh, PM commented.

While slamming the opposition party without taking names of Cong. and SP, PM said, "Dynastic politics is dangerous for the country. Dynasties promote castesim."

The Prime Minister asserted that ahead of the 2024 national election, the party must raise awareness against dynastic parties from "Kashmir to Kanyakumari".

The BJP won in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur in polls that ended last week. Congress lost Punjab to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

After the big win, chants of "Modi, Modi" and desk-thumping broke out when the Prime Minister entered the Lok Sabha yesterday as parliament resumed the budget session.

This morning, PM Modi brought BJP president JP Nadda to the forefront and asked for him to be garlanded first in what the party said was an acknowledgement of the role of the organization in the election victories.
