Speaking at the second National Youth Parliament Festival in the Central Hall of Parliament, Modi said: “It is now true that the days of those who won elections on the basis of surnames alone are ending. But in politics, this disease of the dynasty is not completely over. There are still people whose ideas, thoughts and goals have to do with the politics of their family and the preservation of their family in politics. “
The prime minister said that this dynasty burdens the country with “akshamta” (disability) and results in a lack of respect for the law. “Political dynasty instead of nation first solidifies the feeling of ‘just me and my family.’ This is also a great reason for political and social corruption. Those who have grown up from the dynasty think that if the corruption of their previous generations is not accounted for, no one will be able to do anything to them. They see successful examples of that in their homes. Therefore, these people have no respect for the law nor are they afraid of it, ”Modi said.

Now, it won’t happen that the hard work you put in in your previous course will go to waste, ”Modi said.
