Congress MP-Elect Rahul Gandhi called the newly formed National Democratic Alliance (NDA) cabinet a “parivaar mandal” on Tuesday, and slammed the Modi administration for its dynasty politics, citing the political ties of some of its ministers.
Taking to X (formally Twitter), he wrote, “Those who call the tradition of struggle, service, and sacrifice of generations as nepotism are distributing the will of power to their ‘sarkari parivar’ (government family).”
Gandhi named the following individuals as part of the NDA’s “parivaar mandal”: H D Kumaraswamy, son of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda; Jyotiraditya Scindia, son of former Union minister Madhav Rao Scindia; Kiren Rijiju, son of first pro tem speaker of Arunachal Pradesh Rinchin Kharu; Raksha Khadse, daughter-in-law of former Maharashtra minister Eknath Khadse; Jayant Chaudhary, grandson of former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh; Chirag Paswan, son of former Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan; and J P Nadda, son-in-law of former MP and Madhya Pradesh minister Jaysree Banerjee.
Ram Mohan Naidu, son of former Union minister Terren Naidu; Jitin Prasada, son of former MP Jitendra Prasada; Rao Inderjit Singh, son of former Haryana chief minister Rao Birendra Singh; Piyush Goyal, son of former Union minister Ved Prakash Goyal; Ravneet Singh Bittu, grandson of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh; Anupriya Patel, daughter of Apna Dal founder Sonelal Patel; and Kirti Vardhan Singh, son of former Uttar Pradesh minister Maharaj Anand Singh, were also added to the list.
“This difference between the words and actions is called Narendra Modi,” he added.
