Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha's criticism of the government has seemingly hit home. On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's twitter handle tweeted the link to Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha's article in a leading newspaper. Several people pointed out that fielding Jayant to counter his father could have been avoided. "Dynasty is nasty but what the hell, let’s roll-out the son to counter the article written by his father," tweeted National Conference chief Omar Abdullah. But the final word belonged to Yashwant Sinha. "If they thought he (Jayant Sinha) was very competent to reply to the questions... then why was he shifted from the ministry of finance?" Sinha retorted.
