Jaitley takes dig at Rahul Gandhi, says wisdom cannot be inherited

New Delhi, June 13 (IBNS): Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday took a dig at Congress President Rahul Gandhi and said that "wisdom cannot be inherited."

"In dynastic parties political positions are heritable. Unfortunately wisdom is not heritable. It has to be acquired through learning," Jaitley wrote in a Facebook post.

He said dynastic political parties are "family and personality dominated."

"Ideology takes a back seat. You can oppose the OBC when it suits you. You can shed crocodile tears for them when the opportunism so requires. You can run down jobs created by frying pakodas. You can quantify on the virtues of running a dhaba. The leader’s ill-informed instincts become the ideology," Jaitley claimed.

He accused the Congress party of becoming 'ideologyless.'

"This can only happen to a party which becomes ideologyless; pushes itself to the fringe; is willing to act as a tailender to regional parties. All this because its only obsession is a person called Narendra Modi," Jaitley noted.
