New Delhi, Jan 12 : Without taking names of political rivals, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday said that political dynasts posed the biggest threat to democracy and appealed to the youth to enter politics to redress the situation.
“There are still people who want to do politics only to save their family’s name in politics. This sort of politics keeps ‘nation first’ at the second place and ‘my family and my benefits’ as first priority.
“The youth need to enter politics to end this practice of family-based politics. It is important to save our democratic practices,” he said at a valedictory function of the second Youth Parliament here.
“Dynasts are the biggest threat to democracy and this leads to social corruption; more youths should come forward to curb this problem.” The Prime Minister maintained that people nowadays supported those who worked with honesty and sincerity.
Modi said that politics of nepotism was nearing its end, adding that it hadn’t ended completely though.
