Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi was in United States recently, giving a press conference at Berkeley. The politician was asked about his views on dynastic politics, something he’s a product of himself, and he defended it by saying that’s how India works.
Most parties in India have that problem, Mr Akhilesh Yadav is a dynast. Mr Stalin (son of M Karunanidhi of DMK) is a dynast…even Abhishek Bachchan is a dynast. So, that’s how India runs. So, don’t get after me because that’s how India is run. By the way, last, I recall, Ambanis are running the business. That’s also going on in Infosys. So, that’s what happens in India.
Rishi Kapoor, who could also be added to this group, took to Twitter to call Rahul Gandi out for this statements. Rishi’s point was that being from an influential family is not enough, you have to win the love and respect of people through hard-work.
One person replied saying that he could be a better actor than Rishi but he didn’t have the connections he had. To which Rishi had a pretty sassy reply –
While mentioning the illustrious actors from his family, he forgot to mention Kareena and Karisma Kapoor. But that’s another matter for another day I suppose.
