No Tickets To MPs' Children "Because Of Me": PM On Dynastic Politics
NDTV
The Prime Minister asserted that ahead of the 2024 national election, the party must raise awareness against dynastic parties from "Kashmir to Kanyakumari".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today that it was his decision not to field children of BJP MPs in the recent state elections, in which the party won in four states.
"Several MPs and party leaders were seeking tickets in the recently concluded elections for their children and many of them were denied. BJP MPs' children did not get tickets to contest because that comes under dynastic politics. They did not get tickets because of me," PM Modi said at the first weekly meeting of BJP MPs after the party's spectacular election wins.
The comments were seen in reference to BJP MP Rita Bahuguna Joshi's son Mayank, who joined the Samajwadi Party just before polls after being denied a BJP ticket to contest in Uttar Pradesh.
"Dynastic politics is dangerous for the country. Dynasties promote casteism," said the Prime Minister, without naming parties like the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, which were his prime targets in the state elections.

The prime minister said the Maharashtra election also shows that only one Constitution will work in India and that was given to the people of the country by B R Ambedkar.
The Prime Minister said the Congress' outsized interest in its own welfare is a "threat to democracy".
