Key Points
As someone who has long believed that the disease destroying all our Opposition parties is dynastic democracy, I found myself wondering if our Opposition leaders realise that Modi is right...
Opposition leaders whine constantly these days about how they cannot compete with Modi because they lack the funds that the BJP has and because they are under constant attack from intelligence agencies and tax inspectors..
There is also the valid charge that the reason why so many political leaders are joining the BJP is because there is a washing machine that washes away all corruption charges once you become a member of the BJP..
The reason for this is that the average voter has known for a very long time that most political leaders bring their children into politics only because there is no easier way to make easy money in our ancient land than through politics..
So far, the Opposition leaders have responded by throwing the charge back at the BJP and listing senior leaders in Modis inner circle who are guilty of trying to promote their progeny..
