Congress may elevate Rahul Gandhi, but dynastic parties are increasingly out of sync with Indian democracy

What was written on walls is now set to happen. The grand old party of India has, once again, decided to go for a perceived shortcut to its political survival by choosing to anoint its current vice-president as president of the party.
In observance of the Election Commission’s directive, Congress has finally announced the schedule of its internal elections. By the first week next month the current party president’s son would be officially elected as president, which will almost certainly go unopposed.
