Dhritarastra was born blind and for this reason he could not carry out the duties of a King. Thus Pandu, his younger brother, acted as king. Yudhisthira was born before Duryodhana and thus he lost his right to the throne. So Duruodhana had some kind resentment towards his father.
Here it appears that Dhritarastra was not blind only materially but also in intelligence, as he couildn’t recognize his own mistakes. He even wanted to appear innocent.
