This is with reference to Mr Krishnasagar Rao, BJP’s spokesperson's article in an english daily titled  Congress --A failing family enterprise published on 10th Aug.  He described Congress party as a family owned business entity. I have seen Mr Krishnasagar in many discussions on televisons and he speaks very logical and is convincing in his aruguments.  But coming to this refered article, it is very evident that his motive was to defame Congress in order to prop up his own party. Not only Krishnasagar ji, many of my FB friends, also express similar opinions.
 Many people who support BJP only, say that the Nehru dynasty enjoyed power for sixty years, but I have not seen anybody talking about the sacrifices, made by Nehru, and his successors including loosing its family members. But here in the Indian context it is very common, to have their scions in the domain in which their families move. It May be very rare to see an example from any field where such legacy doesn’t continue. Even in politics too what about Bihar, UP, TS, AP and so on. Are the leaders of such states not encouraging their heirs? Therefore it looks that “my mistake is not at all a mistake but your mistake is only a mistake.” I can discuss any number of issues, but now I will only confine myself to the dynastic politics, about which it says it’s a sacred cow. But is it so?
Son of MP Ramansingh, son of Vasundhara Raje, including she herself, son of Rajveersingh MP Etah, UP,  Son of Kalyan Singh, are all not from BJP? 
Poonam Mahajan, Preetam Munde, Heena Gavit, are all daughters of BJP leaders. Raksha Khadre is the daughter-in-Law of BJP leader Eknath Khadre.Varun Gandhi, Menaka Gandhi are examples of dynastic politics in BJP party. Now BJP is fielding BH Raghavendra, son of  B.S. Yedyurappa, in coming Assembly Elections Karnataka. As I know there are 38 MPs in LokSabha, out of 281 BJP MPs, and there are 9 MPs in Rajya Sabha out of 56, who are sons and daughters of BJP leaders. So is it fair on BJP or someothers to blame Congress and Nehru family for its dynastic politics? 
Whether anybody agrees or not both Indira and Rajiv have laid down their lives, in the call of duty of the nation, but in BJP I don’t think, anyone is there who laid down their lives for the nation.
