Congress and dynasty

India's oldest political party, the Congress, still continues to function as a monarchy. Regretful indeed was the moment, when the Prime Minister of the country while campaigning for a scion of the Nehru family, called him the "future of UP". That an individual whose accomplishments in life are based solely on merit would fall prey to the archaic ideology of dynasty politics is hard to swallow. Most definitely while the words were spoken by Dr. Manmohan Singh, they would have been ideated by the Nehru family itself. Rahul Gandhi, the "future" so to speak, has delivered only one address(from a prepared text) in the parliament, after being elected 3 years ago. Newsweek further insults India's functioning democracy, by addressing Mr. Gandhi as "India's Crown Prince". It would do well for the top leaders of Congress to rethink it's ideas about the leadership it constantly bestows upon the Nehru family. The message it sends out to it's party men is anything but democratic.
