PM Says Opposition Leaders More Focused On "Setting Up Their Children"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an exclusive interwith with NDTV took a swipe at the Opposition bloc INDIA over dynastic politics.

Explaining the matter to NDTV Editor-In-Chief Sanjay Pugalia, PM Modi said leaders of the INDIA bloc are more interested in the welfare of their own children, and not the children of the nation.

"If you make all of them sit together, you will see this is his son, or this is his father. It is clear that the INDIA bloc is more interested in setting up their children, and not bother about the welfare of the children of the nation," PM Modi told NDTV in the exclusive interview.

PM Modi is looking to win a third term. His party, BJP, has expressed confidence in winning over 400 seats in the Lok Sabha.

The Congress's Rahul Gandhi and the Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) Tejashwi Yadav have often faced criticism from the BJP as products of dynastic politics.

The BJP maintains PM Modi has in the past 10 years ended the politics of casteism, corruption, appeasement and dynasty that prevailed in the country after Independence and ushered in a politics of performance.

PM Modi has in the past said several times that the INDIA bloc was an obstacle to India becoming a developed nation, and that "Bharat" has been saying "Quit India" to parties rooted in corruption, dynastic tendencies, and appeasement policies.
