Dynastic politics has no place in BJP; PM believes in performance: Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia

The Civil Aviation Minister said that dynastic politics had no place in the BJP and the Prime Minister believed that party workers should be rewarded based on their work and not as per family affiliations.

Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday said dynastic politics has no place in the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes that party workers should be rewarded based on their work and not as per family affiliations.

Scindia, who comes from the royal family of the Scindias, on Monday performed puja of the renovated bungalow allotted to him a few months back, along with his wife Priyadarshini Raje and son Mahanaryaman, BJP spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi said.

“There is no dynastic politics in the BJP. As per the Prime Minister’s thinking and ideology, he has clearly said that workers should be rewarded based on their excellent service and not based on their families,” Scindia told reporters at his renovated official residence in the posh Shyamla Hills area here when asked about PM Modi’s stand on dynastic politics.

Scindia’s bungalow shares its boundary with the official residence of former chief minister Uma Bharti of BJP and is also close to the residence of Congress’ Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh.

Scindia said the prime minister is the source of inspiration for BJP workers.

He said they should work for the welfare of the people on this inspiration.

When asked about Congress leaders holding meetings in the Gwalior-Chambal division, considered his stronghold, Scindia said, “I wish to tell you that when I was in Congress at that time also, and now when I am in BJP, some people get itchy. I am moving forward on my way that is the path of public service. It is the path of progress and development. They should keep their thinking with them. I am attached with my people and it is my resolve to serve my God and they are my people.”
