A rattled BJP fielded angry Smriti Irani to counter 'dynast' Rahul Gandhi. Admirable. Yet Yale must not hv taught 'entire political science'
So here is how the un-dynastic or dare I say dynasty hating BJP stacks against Congress.
Let start with the obvious. Since we are talking Indira Gandhi's daughter in laws and grandsons, we must assume they worked their way up.
Dynasty is kings and queens right? So let's look at Rajasthan CM of BJP. I am ignoring her relatives in BJP.
I hate to say this but have to include him. Jayant Sinha. He is qualified. So are others. So who is he if not someone's son? Picture it!
I wouldn't call Nirmala Sitharaman as a dynast. I wouldn't undermine her because only a Congress family can be open to include BJP members.
Then we have a man who thinks he is common. He either forgot his father or he tried to fool rest who were unaware. On both counts a dynast.
Or another from the Nelson Mandela family as a minister.
Let's not count the MPs/MLAs who are sons or daughter of BJP ministers or CMs. Let's just ignore the next generation for another day.
Does having someone in the family as PM count? If so this guy isn't a dynast? Siddharth Nath Singh.
Or another Dynast from the BJP UP stable. Or should I say self made person?
If valor of Punjab doesn't want dynasty, how can valiant Marathas be left behind? Thackeray of Shiv Sena. In power. With BJP.
Thackeray of MNS. Never mind his surname. He is a self made man.
Or another efficient Minister who is a self made woman just happened to be a Mahajan. What do I say! Look at the admiring standing 'dynast.'
I won't include late Mr. Munde's daughter. Why?

Is selective amnesia only Smriti's forte? Am I not allowed?
But again, you travel south, you have another ally. CB Naidu garu. Is dynasty counted only of Partiarchy?
BJP hates dynasty so much that it just happen to be in alliance with daughter of a former CM, who is current CM. Mehbooba Mufti- no dynast.
Or come to my beloved state - from Congress family. Ofcourse, she cannot be called as dynast because BJP is zero there. But still it counts.
They hate dynasty only in fourth generation I believe. Coz, from the looks of it, seems cool with second gen. But no, third gen we 😡
Hey I am not going to count others for now. Now I think you all get why Smriti was angry.
To BJP, there is no principle to oppose dynasty. Hey, if it can bring me power, I will hug. But are they opponents? Then scream DYNASTY!
To an unprincipled party, where it's mouth is dependent on with whom it stands with for power. #PseudoDynast BJP?
