‘Cong plagued with nepotism’
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 6: BJP national general secretary and party’s incharge for J&K and Ladakah UTs , Tarun Chugh lambasted the Congress for taking objection to change the nomenclature of the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award to Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award saying that any award should be related to a person achieving excellence in the particular field.
In a statement here, today Chugh ridiculed the Congress protest over the matter saying that at least 422 awards, institutions, roads or airports have been named after the Gandhi family for the simple reason that the Congress leaders wanted to promote nepotism.
He questioned the purpose of naming an institution of academic excellence or a sports event after the Gandhi family in spite of the fact that the Gandhi family has made no contribution to it.
While demanding that all institutions and places named after the Gandhi family needed to be reviewed Chugh said the protest by the Congressmen only indicated how nepotism and Gandhi-family worship has been going on in the party for decades.
“It is a matter of shame for the nation that a political party like Congress is obsessed with the Gandhi family and has failed to provide leadership beyond the family”, Chugh said.
