Jyotiraditya Scindia is not the only dynast to be elected to the Rajya Sabha on a BJP ticket — many others represent party in both Houses of Parliament.
Union minister Prakash Javadekar took to Twitter to list Gandhi’s 'achievements' since February, after ex-Congress chief criticised PM Modi for his ‘blunders’.
Jyotiraditya Scindia is only doing BJP’s bidding. But it could well be the intention of Vasundhara Raje’s detractors to cut off her nose to spite the face.
18 months after he led the Congress to a much-needed victory in Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot has undone all his gains. At least that is how it appears at the moment.
Sachin Pilot and Jyotiraditya Scindia became ministers in Congress at an age when others like them were trying to make a name for themselves in student and youth organisations.
BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia said there was rampant corruption in the former Congress govt in Madhya Pradesh but refused to speak about Congress crisis in Rajasthan.
After 11 days of intense squabbling, loyalists of Jyotiraditya Scindia have bagged key departments such as revenue, health and energy. Read the full list here.
We have failed terribly at two important things. One, we are reacting to this issue only emotionally, not logically. And two, we are not asking the right questions.
WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
I had respect for Shekhar Gupta and was happy with the direction he was giving to Print.
But printing such logically-challenged articles lowers the standing Mr. Gupta you claim to provide to Print.
Bairam Khan worked for Akbar and his son Rahim worked for Akbar: the dynasty is Mughal dynasty not Bairam Khan dynasty.
Deve Gowda, Laloo, Mulayam, Chautala, Patnayak all worked in the same party but separated copying congress model of Jawaharlal jee thereby establishing their lineage in their respective areas. It would not be possible if they stayed together.
Sharad Pawar , Sangma, Jagan, KCR moved out of Congress copying Jawaharlal jee and have their own dynasties.
Even Badal, Thakeray and Karunanidhi copied Jawaharlal jee and created their own lineage.
If Atal or Advani followed this formula, we would have Ranjan Bhattacharya or Jayant Advanin as PM.
This feeble attempt at creating equivalence with Rahul Baba is laughable and ludicrous.
Those “dynasts” in “The Congress,DMK,SP,BSP,Akali Dal ,RJD, Shiv Sena and Deva-Gaudas JD” have also to contest elections, and get elected by the people. DYNASTS ARE APPOINTED., AND NOT ELECTED. These people are elected by the people in elections, AND THEREFORE IT IS WRONG TO CALL THEM DYNASTS. tHEY DON’T HAVE TO “climb the greasy pole of a political career from the grassroots”. IN A DEMOCRACY ALL ONE NEEDS IS TO GET ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE IN A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION.
Can we have the similar analysis across all parties. Getting into politics is no joke you need funds that only the existing folks have… so I would really like to see comparison across all parties
It is absurd to argue that just because one^ parent was in politics ,the person is precluded from pursuing a political career. ^The Congress,DMK,SP,BSP,Akali Dal ,RJD, Shivsena and Deva-Gaudas JD are being pilloried for dynastic succession only because the leadership of the Parties is handed down form one generation to the next’ as if in proprietorship of family enterprises.This is indeed an obnoxius practice.Rahul Gandhi,Stalin,Mayawatis brother and nephew,Akilesh Yadav,Sukhdevsingh Badal,Tejaswi Yadav,Uddhav Thackeray have all inherited the Party leadership and hence the right to head the Government when the respective Parties come to power.This is real dynastic succession.The BJP can never be accused of dynastic succession at the top echelons.By hard work at the ground level if a politicians son or daughter climb the greasy pole of a political career from the grassroots,it needs to be appreciated.
