National parties like congress and bjp should not leave the choice of state-level leadership decisions to the Sonia family or the RSS 'pariwar' respectively. Instead, they should hold 'primary' intra-party elections, like the primaries being held in USA among prospective democratic and republican candidates. They could take the organizational help of the EC for conducting such primaries, either as part of its normal work or on special payments collected for the services. Popular will should be reflected in the choice of leaderships in centre and states of the national parties for propective posiitions of CMs and PM, also.
