PM Modi slams Opposition for damaging country through 'vote bank, dynastic politics'
New Delhi, April 6: Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a jibe at Opposition parties on Wednesday and said that some political parties did only vote bank politics and harmed the country in the past decades through dynastic politics. The PM further assured that BJP will continue its fight to defeat 'anti-democratic' forces in the country.
Addressing BJP workers on the party's 42nd Foundation Day, PM Modi stated, "In our country, for decades, some political parties did only vote bank politics and made promises to only a few people, keeping most of the people starving. Discrimination, corruption, all these were side effects of vote bank politics."
"The BJP has not only given competition to this vote bank politics, but it has also been successful in explaining its disadvantages to the countrymen," he said; adding "For us, politics and national policy go hand in hand. But it is also true that there are still two types of politics going on in the country- one of love for family, other of love for the nation."

"There are some political parties in different states that work only for the interests of their respective families. They might be in different states but they're linked through dynasty," he continued.
He further remarked that "This has harmed the country a lot in the past decades. These parties didn't let the youth of the country progress and always betrayed them. Today, we should be proud that BJP is the only party that is making the country aware of this challenge, warning the country about it (dynastic politics)."
The Prime Minister also assured the party workers of continuing the flight till the objective is achieved and said, "The BJP will continue to fight for the establishment of democratic values in such states. This great struggle will continue till we defeat the anti-democratic forces."
