Defending Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s comments over dynasty politics, senior party leader Digvijaya Singh on Tuesday said the RSS, which is the parent organization of the BJP, too indulges in dynasty politics.
In a series of tweets, Digvijaya Singh named senior RSS functionaries all of whom belong to influential families and have had a family member hold an important position in the RSS.
“Mohan Bhagwat is son of Ex Prachar Pramukh of Gujarat Madhukar Rao Bhagwat. Present Prachar Pramukh of RSS is Manmohan Vaidya who is son of MG Vaidya senior RSS leader,” he tweeted.

Digvijaya Singh’s retort comes after Union Minister Smriti Irani called Rahul Gandhi a “failed dynast” and challenged him for a public debate without a written speech.
Reacting to Congress Vice President’s criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Irani said there was no place for dynasty in democracy.
