'Deserves sympathy': KC lashes out at Tharoor's remarks on dynastic politics
November 07, 2025
|The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam
IN a sharp rejoinder to Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's recent comments on dynastic politics, party General Secretary (Organisation) K C Venugopal on Thursday said he "feels sorry for people who make such comments" and sought an explanation from Tharoor over his remarks.
Venugopal's response came days after Tharoor, in an article for international media outlet Project Syndicate, argued that dynastic politics across party lines poses a "grave threat" to Indian democracy and urged India to trade "dynasty for meritocracy".
Speaking to reporters in the national capital, Venugopal defended the Nehru-Gandhi family, saying they have made immense sacrifices for the country. "I feel sorry for those who made such remarks. Everyone knows that former prime ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed their lives for the nation. Members of the Gandhi family have even declined offers to become prime minister. Calling it a family rule cannot be justified," he said.

AWESOME TWOSOME IN FEARLESS FILMMAKING
PARNA Sen’s 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981) was a landmark in my formative years as a film buff. I am not sure where I watched it. But what has stayed with me till date are Jennifer Kendal’s eloquent presence as the quiet and secluded Anglo-Indian teacher Violet Stoneham, and Ashok Mehta’s camera that captures the many shades of loss and solitude that imbue the film, and the textures of a fading world it is set in. It was about underscoring the tenuousness of a community as well as the vulnerability of an individual.
