BJP sources said, “Prime Minister Modi told the MPs that if anyone’s family member was denied a ticket, it was his responsibility and that nepotism would not be allowed in the party. The BJP will fight against nepotism and dynasty politics in the other political parties.”

Referring to the recent Assembly polls, the Prime Minister said that the politics of caste is ending. “Prime Minister said that ‘jativaad ki rajneeti‘ (politics of caste) is coming to end,” a BJP MP said.

He also said that the only BJP has reached out to the family members of Indian citizens stranded in Ukraine,” another BJP MP said.
