Pvt Ltd 'parivarik company': Shehzad Poonawalla on elevation of Udhayanidhi Stalin as TN Dy CM

New Delhi [India], September 29 (ANI): BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla on Saturday lambasted at the dynastic politics of INDIA bloc after DMK appointed Udhayanidhi Stalin as the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and called them a Pvt Ltd 'parivarik company' accusing them of focussing on only family first and not nation first.
Shehzad Poonawalla said, "One thing is very clear. These parties are of the family, for the family, and by the family. They focus on only family first, and not nation first. They are a Pvt Ltd 'parivarik company' The entire INDI alliance is like that. They have two pillars, 'bhrashtachar' and 'parivaar'."
He further alleged that members of the INDIA bloc were not concerned about the sons and daughters of others.
He further said, "Lalu wants Tejashwi, Sonia wants Rahul, Sharad Pawar wants Supriya, MK Stalin wants Udhayanidhi, Mulayam Singh wanted Akhilesh, and Mamata Banerjee wants Abhishek. For the son-rise, they are leading to the sunset of their party and also others' sons and daughters. They don't care about the sons and daughters of India as Modiji does."
