New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Gujarat’s Patan, Bharatsinh Dabhi, has courted controversy by saying that all his businesses went into loss and were finally closed except politics.“It happens…… I have also tried my hand in 26 businesses but all closed, but this [politics] has gone well, from Sarpanch to Parliament, I have no problem now,” Dabhi said at an event at Hemchandracharya University, according to The New Indian Express. “If you want to do business, you must utlise time, and if you don’t, it will take its toll, as mine did.”The opposition Congress criticised the MP’s remarks, with spokesperson Manish Doshi saying, “What BJP MP has said is not limited to him as politics has been a business for BJP for years. Though Bharatsinh Dabhi says that his business is running well from sarpanch to MP, he is still far behind other BJP leaders in earnings.”“The BJP has made politics its business. This is BJP’s business model that was presented on a public forum by one of its leaders,” he continued, and claimed that the saffron party “taking politics as a business has been destructing the democracy in the country”.
