Dynasty politics is a threat to democracy, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday during an interview with a news agency.
"When a party is run for generations by a family, there is only dynasty, not dynamics. In Jammu and Kashmir there are two parties run by two separate families. You can see a similar trend in Haryana, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu," Modi said.
"We won in 2014. We were then voted (to power) in 2017 and 2019. So the old theory (a party not repeating its victory in consecutive polls in UP) has been rejected by UP. They accepted us in 2014, 2017 and 2019. They will accept us in 2022 after seeing our work," the PM added.
I have come to win the hearts of farmers and did so. I understand the pain of small farmers. I had said that farm laws were implemented for the benefit of farmers but were taken back in the national interest, Modi stated.
