“Does Amit Shah’s son know how to hold a bat? But, he is the BCCI president. PM Modi wants to be re-elected for a third time at 73 and ‘Jawan’ will retire at 21? These People are ‘ghor parivaarwaadi’,” news agency ANI quoted Singh as saying.
He later claimed that the BJP was for his close family and friends, while the DAP was for the country. “PM Modi, Amit Shah and the BJP have no other job than to help families and friends grow… We work for the country and they work for their friends,” he added.
The BJP and opposition parties including the Congress, RJD and SP have been at loggerheads over accusations of indulging in dynastic politics.

Prime Minister Modi has repeatedly attacked the great old party, saying it cannot think beyond dynasty, appeasement and corruption, saying the development of the country was never on their agenda.
The words dynastic and familialism are very prominent in Indian politics. The Congress is largely run by the Nehru-Gandhi family, from Nehru to his great-grandson Rahul Gandhi. Senior leader Mulayam Singh Yadav’s son and daughter-in-law Akhilesh Yadav and Dimple Yadav are active in politics . RJD’s Lalu Yadav’s family is also on the list, including his wife Rabri Devi and son Taj Pratap Yadav, who is also active in politics Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav.
Meanwhile, AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is currently in judicial custody in Tihar Jail in connection with a money laundering case related to the liquor consumption policy.
