‘With dynasty politics, Congress cannot save democracy’: BJP President Amit Shah

Jaipur: Accusing the Congress of practising dynasty politics, BJP President Amit Shah on Wednesday said a party which has no internal democracy cannot save democracy in the country. Interacting with youth workers here, he also dismissed Congress’ efforts to forge a grand alliance for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and claimed that BJP would again form a government at the Centre with a better majority than it got in 2014. “What could be the worst example of dynasty politics that when a Congress worker shouts ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ he was stopped by a Congress candidate. After a few seconds he starts shouting ‘Sonia Gandhi Ki Jai’. Those who hesitate in saying ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ have no right to eat the food of the country,” Shah said.

Shah said that as long as dynasty politics was there in country, youth with potentials can never get an opportunity. “But in BJP the situation is different where a tea seller can become Prime Minister and a small worker like me can become President of the party. Will it be ever possible in Congress. Unless you belong to a family, you cannot move ahead.

Talent and potential do not matter”. Shah claimed that casteism, dynasty and appeasement were almost eliminated from politics in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls but the three cancers were again coming to the fore in Indian politics. “Even if there is a Mahagathbandhan against us, we will form the government in 2019 with a better majority than in 2014,” he claimed.
