“Dynastic succession is one of the most serious challenges before the political parties.” Analyse the statement. (CBSE 2015)

Dynastic succession is a serious challenge for political parties:

1. Since most of the procedures of the parties are not transparent, the leaders can favour those close to them.

2. Most of the parties have all the top members from one family. This doesn’t give a fair chance to the ordinary workers.

3. This is a challenge to democracy because people with less experience or popular support can also come to power.

Explanation: Dynastic succession has been a tendency of the political parties around the world. But it seriously challenges the basic principles of democracy.
