When it Comes to Nepotism No Indian Political Party wants to be Left Behind

For all the hue and cry about India being the worlds lagrest democracy, the lack of a truely democratic system within the Indian political parties when it comes to selecting its representatives to contest elections is truly shocking. The latest example is that of the BJP. Party leader M Venkaiah Naidu, when speaking to reports in Karnataka on why a kin of the current Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa will be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha election , replied and I quote

"being son of any leader is not a disqualification. It's about acceptability. Even though the party does not approve promotion of kin, if such a person is acceptable to the locals why not give it a try?"

Can we expect any of this to change anytime soon. Not unless the we the voters decide its time to end the nepotism, sychopancy and self promotion that is prevasive in Indian politics.
