If nepotism controversy was not enough, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has given a new topic of battle i.e. Dynasty to the country.
The Congress politician attended India at 70: Reflections on the Path Forward at University of California, Berkeley. During the Questionnaire session, he was asked if he was ready to take charge of the party ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Rahul who had declined to be the Congress’s prime ministerial candidate back in 2014 answered-
“I am absolutely ready to do that but the way our party works, we have an organisational election process that decides that and that process is currently ongoing. We have an internal system where we elect certain delegates who make that decision. So for me to say that the decision is mine, that wouldn’t be very fair. That’s the decision that the Congress party has to make and that’s the process which is currently going on right now.”
Then he was asked the controversial question regarding the allegations that the Indian National Congress is a dynastic party.
Rahul couldn’t find the best way to answer the question and said-
“Most of the country runs like this. So, don’t go after me. Akhilesh Yadav is a dynast, Mr Stalin (DMK supremo M Karunanidhi’s son) is a dynast, Mr (Prem Kumar) Dhumal’s son (Anurag Thakur of the BJP) is a dynast. Even Mr Abhishek Bachchan is a dynast, also Mr Ambani. That’s what happens in India and just the way India runs. The real question is if that person is a capable, sensitive person.”
Even though Abhishek Bachchan decided to remain silent, his All Is Well co-star Rishi Kapoor jumped in to answer.
Rishi Kapoor who is popular for his Twitter rants ripped apart Rahul Gandhi in multiple tweets. Here’s what he tweeted-
Rahul Gandhi.In the 106 years of Indian cinema of India, Kapoor’s contribution is 90 years. And each generation is chosen by public on merit

So don’t bullshit people on “Dynasty” You have to earn people’s respect and love through hard work not zabardasti and gundagardi.

He didn’t stop there. Replying to a Twitter user who messed up with him through a provocative tweet he said-
I am absolutely sure you can Manish. Then it’s your genetic fault you don’t have what I have!

Rishi wrote this as an answer to this tweet-
I can act better than you Mr. Chintu, but I don’t have a father like legendary actor RK grandfather like Prithviraj Kapoor saheb.
