Internal democracy does not exist in Congress party. All power is concentrated in Sonia parivar, consisting of Sonia, Rahul & Priyanka. All appointments in states and center is done by this parivar only. There is no election there is only selection by high command in the party.
Thus though Krishna's name has been cleared for election, but Chief Ministership will b decided by the parivar after election.Indira had had destroyed internal democracy in the party.
Contrast it with the fierce competition in USA between Hillary Clinton and Obama for getting nominated to fight presidential election against the republican candidate.
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 no one can go against the Parivar.
Sonia is ruling the country from behind the scene, without any accountability and responsibility. Anything good goes to her credit anything bad is passed on as the work of the govt and congress party organisation.
Two road shows of Rahul have flopped - in UP and Gujrat. Still he was given another opportunity of road show in Karnataka and is hoping to b PM of the country. Would any other non dynasty congressman have been given so much freedom, power and opportunity?
This gives rise to dictatorial tendencies, corruption and nepotism and very dangerous in the long run.
