BJP's 'shehzadas' list runs long

Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh's son Abhishek is the party candidate from the Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha constituency.

But the BJP insists the party cannot be compared to the Congress.

"The Congress dynasty is the dynasty of leadership. It is not about making someone an MP or an MLA. In the Congress, it starts from the top and percolates to the bottom and is dynastic in totality," BJP leader Prakash Javadekar told IANS.

"In the BJP's case, the party leadership, be it Atalji or Advaniji or even Rajnathji, no one has monopolised decision-making.

"In the Congress, only the Nehru-Gandhi family takes decisions...that's the Congress' legacy; the final decision maker is dynastic," he added.
