"Dynastic Politics" To Divert Attention From Double-Engine Failures: Tejashwi Yadav

RJD's Tejashwi Yadav was asked about an interview of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in which he came down heavily on "parivaarvaad"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attack on "dynastic" parties which swore by "socialism" on Thursday appeared to have got under the skin of Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav.

The former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister was also, understandably, sore over the praise showered on Nitish Kumar, his ex-boss and father Lalu Prasad's arch-rival, by the Prime Minister.

"The BJP has succeeded in casting Nitish Kumar in its mould. Narendra Modi has just certified that," Mr Yadav told reporters in Patna.

The RJD leader was asked about an interview of the Prime Minister in which he came down heavily on "parivaarvaad" and praised "socialist" leaders like the Bihar Chief Minister for not making progeny the political successor.
