Internal democracy does not exist in Congress party. All power is concentrated in Sonia parivar, consisting of Sonia, Rahul & Priyanka and her two small children r waiting in the wings. All appintments in states and center is done by this parivar only. There is no election only selection in the party.
Contrast it with the fierce competition in USA democratic party between Hillary Clinton and Obama.
Once upon a time Congress was very democratic with stalwarts like Tilak, Gandhiji, Nehru, Patel, Kalam, Kamraj, Netaji etc. Netaji once even defeated Gandhiji's candidate for the post of president. Now it is just one parivar rule. No one can point out a finger towards this parivar for any of their fault.
Sonia is ruling the country from behind the scene, without any accountability and responsibility. Anything good goes to her credit anything bad is the work of the govt and congress party organisation.
Two road shows of Rahul have flopped - in UP and Gujrat. Would any other congressman have been given so much freedom, power and opportunity?
This gives rise to dictatorial tendencies, corruption and nepotism.
