dear vidhyadar, i think you should go for more analysis about all the parties. Please check all other parties about dynasty rules. Karnatak- Yediyurappa & son & Shoba, Devegowda & Sons, In punjab Badal & son etc. If you need more we can point out more. Each and every party have dynasty rulers. So why you point out only one party. If you are against dynasty rule point out all. If you are against corruption point out all. Vyapam scam, chiiki scam, karnatak mine scam, denotification scam, Food scam, punjab drug scam, DDA Scam, modi UK scam, kingfisher scam, external affairs humanitarian scam, corporate peanlty waiver scam etc
