All in the family: When dynasty rules Delhi dynamics

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: In the run-up to the Delhi assembly elections, dynastic politics continues to take centre stage, despite political parties’ repeated condemnations of nepotism. From the grandson of a former Prime Minister to the children of three former Chief Ministers, the trend of political heirs running for office is evident across party lines. Harish Khurana, son of former BJP Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana, is running alongside Parvesh Verma, son of another BJP CM, Sahib Singh Verma. Congress, too, has embraced dynastic politics, fielding Sandeep Dikshit, son of the late Sheila Dikshit, a three-term Delhi CM, from the New Delhi constituency.
