Cong's politics about dynasty, ours based on hard work: BJP hits back at Kamal Nath

Hitting back at Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress leader Kamal Nath for his swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP on Thursday said its politics was based on hard work and talent while the opposition party survived on "dynasty".

Union minister and senior leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Prakash Javadekar hit out at Nath over his reported remarks that Modi's father and grandfather did not fight for the country's freedom.

"Kamal Nath has made a crass remark by asking whether Narendra Modi's father and grandfather fought in the freedom struggle. It is reflective of the Congress's petty mindset. It is still unable to digest Modi, who came from a poor family and whose father sold tea, becoming the prime minister," Javadekar told reporters.

Modi had reached this position due to his talent, honesty, sincerity and the confidence of people in him, he said, asserting that the BJP's politics was not based on dynasty, unlike that of the Congress.
