Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday criticised the Congress over dynastic politics, hours after Gandhi-Nehru scion Priyanka Gandhi made her foray into politics.

Interacting with BJP booth workers in Maharashtra, the prime minister said when it comes to BJP, decisions are not taken on the basis of what one person or one family thinks.

Asserting that the BJP is driven by democratic principles, PM Modi said, “Democracy runs in the veins of BJP which is why people of the country feel closer to the party.”

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also targeted the Congress for appointing Priyanka as AICC general secretary for UP East, saying it was a step that took forward dynastic politics. “It was an appointment based on family,” which showed that dynastic politics has gone two steps forward,” she told reporters here when asked about the matter.

Ending years of speculations, Priyanka formally entered politics with the Congress appointing her general secretary for Uttar Pradesh East. With her induction, the grand old party aims to go full throttle in the state ahead of the general elections.
