NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday launched a fresh attack on dynastic succession and sense of entitlement in the country’s politics, saying it is a menace and new form of dictatorship, which needs to be uprooted for which youth of the country could play the most vital role.
“Some necessary changes in politics are yet to happen. Dynastic politics, which is the biggest enemy of democracy, is still flourishing. Dominance of dynastic succession in politics is the biggest enemy of the country, which needs to be rooted out,” the Prime Minister said.
Exhorting the youth, the PM, who was addressing the valedictory function of the National Youth Parliament Festival, organised at the Central Hall of Parliament on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, said, “It is true that the days of those winning polls by virtue of surnames are numbered but the disease of dynasty in politics is not over completely.”
