Sibal criticizes PM Modi’s comments on ‘dynasty’ in Telangana as politically expedient

Kapil Sibal, a Rajya Sabha MP, accused the BJP of engaging in “politics of convenience” and responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on dynasty in Telangana by citing past instances of the party aligning with dynastic political families in various states. During a public meeting in Hyderabad, Modi took a swipe at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and urged the state government to not allow any hindrance in the works related to development. Sibal responded to Modi’s remarks in a tweet, questioning why the BJP had aligned with dynastic political families in states such as Punjab, Andhra, Haryana, J&K, and Maharashtra. Sibal also pointed out that corruption allegations can be made without the involvement of dynasties. Modi maintained that every type of corruption begins to grow where there is “parivarvaad” (dynasty).
