Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Friday accused the Congress party of propagating 'dynastic rule' in the country by projecting Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's children as its future leaders.
"I have nothing against the children as they are youth and have a right to contest elections. But we are against the dynastic rule in the country," he told reporters before his Bharat Uday Yatra started for Bangalore on its third day.
Advani, who made a brief reference to Priyanka and Rahul on Thursday at Palakkad, said the BJP had nothing against them.
Attacking the Congress chief, he said a person who cannot understand the nuances of Indian politics and the problems of the people is not fit to hold the highest post.
"This issue has now spread so much that there is no need to further elaborate on it. It is an election issue and after all the person seeking the prime ministerial post should be able to understand the nuances of Indian politics and the problems of the people," he said.
