- The prime minister said, “There are some changes still pending. Political dynasty is the biggest enemy of democracy. It’s a challenge that needs to be uprooted. The days of people winning elections on the basis of their surnames are over.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was addressing the National Youth Parliament 2021 on Tuesday, when he mentioned that the ‘Dynasty Politics’ is the ‘New Tyranny’ in democracy. The Prime Minister asked the youth to take a stand against this and join the Indian politics in large numbers in order to uproot it and “help reshape the country’s destiny”.
The National Youth Parliament Day was held on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda hence, Modi referred to him several times, saying that Vivekananda had focused on the growth of both individuals and institutions, and the New Education Policy was a step forward in that regard.
The prime minister said, “There are some changes still pending. Political dynasty is the biggest enemy of democracy. It’s a challenge that needs to be uprooted. The days of people winning elections on the basis of their surnames are over.”
कुछ बदलाव बाकी हैं, और ये बदलाव देश के युवाओं को ही करने हैं।
राजनीतिक वंशवाद, देश के सामने ऐसी ही चुनौती है जिसे जड़ से उखाड़ना है।
अब केवल सरनेम के सहारे चुनाव जीतने वालों के दिन लदने लगे हैं।
लेकिन राजनीति में वंशवाद का ये रोग पूरी तरह समाप्त नहीं हुआ है: PM

Key Points by PM Modi from the Event:

- Dynasty politics is such a challenge before the country and it has to be uprooted.
- Now, the days of those who won elections with the help of surname are over. But this disease of dynasty is not completely obliterated.
- The political dynasty only promotes the philosophy of ‘me and my family’, instead of ‘nation first’ philosophy. It is a major reason behind the political and social corruption in India.
- Recently, honesty and performance have become mandatory conditions for politics in India and not like ancient times when ‘politics’ meant quarrel, trouble, plunder and corruption.
लेकिन आज राजनीति में ईमानदार लोगों को भी मौका मिल रहा है।
Honesty और Performance आज की राजनीति की पहली अनिवार्य शर्त होती जा रही है।
भ्रष्टाचार जिनकी legacy थी, उनका भ्रष्टाचार ही आज उन पर बोझ बन गया है।
वो लाख कोशिशों के बाद भी इससे उभर नहीं पा रहे हैं: PM

- There are still people, whose ideas, whose ethos, whose goal, everything is to save their family’s politics and their family in politics. This political dynasty promotes inefficiency in democracy along with dictatorship.
- The corruption of those who had a (political family) legacy has become a burden on them today. Despite their innumerable efforts they are not been able to get a firm footing again.
अभी भी ऐसे लोग हैं, जिनका विचार, जिनका आचार, जिनका लक्ष्य, सबकुछ अपने परिवार की राजनीति और राजनीति में अपने परिवार को बचाने का है।
ये राजनीतिक वंशवाद लोकतंत्र में तानाशाही के साथ ही अक्षमता को भी बढ़ावा देता है: PM
