Name, influence, money and use of network, no merit base
The report said that in the politics of dynasty, there are families whose names, influences, money and network have been used by new generations. This raises questions on the politics of merit, hard work, accountability and equal representation.
The report assumes that no party has any criteria or merit basis regarding ticket distribution. This is the reason why the politics of dynasty promotes. Political families get repeated tickets, as there is a lack of democratic beliefs in political parties.
Why is dynasty flourishing According to the report, dynasty also flourishes due to ‘money and muscle power’ in the election and the ability to win. The structure of political parties is also a reason. The most powerful position in the party decides who to give tickets and who will take the party further.
There is also a lack of public accountability due to non -arrival of political parties under the Right to Information (RTI). Therefore, dynastic thinking flourishes more.
Small parties more trend The report assumes that the credit for the prevalence of dynastic political is also the strong family traditions of the country. These traditions justify dynasty in the view of voters. In India, it has been considered normal and acceptable that the father or mother wants to hand over any kind of power to his son or daughter.
According to the report, if we look at the politics of national and states, indications of dynasty politics were found in the 1970s. The data recorded in the report shows that dynasty is equally visible in all the national and regional political parties, all the states, male and women, all regional and regional. At the same time, it is quite visible in small parties. The report believed that in women and in small parties they are at high levels.
The report said that dynastic political is not only a medium to maintain heritage but also a way to maintain political entry and existence. It is also a matter of political access to the continuity of family power.
