Rajasthan Congress leader and former Minister Sachin Pilot on Sunday brushed aside BJP’s criticism that the Congress was promoting dynasties, pointing out that several people in that party too were from political families.
“The BJP should introspect. Many of their leaders are also from political families,” he said.
Mr. Pilot added, he neither promoted nor denounced dynastic politics, but sought to stress that individual calibre would decide one’s success.
”It [family] should not be the only reason to bring someone into public life. No one can be thrust upon the public and there is no short cut to hard work,” he said.
