I have nothing against Rahul Gandhi. But making him our Prime Minister just because of his good looks or popular surname will be a blunder.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is an insidious form of political corruption that has to be roundly condemned until it is eliminated from our public life,

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is political abuse pure and simple. It combines nepotism and cronyism to produce a nationally harmful form of favouritism.

[Naomi Mahapatra @NaomiMahapatra]

Young people of my generation are sickened by the antics of Sonia and her family. They have, effectively, hijacked our democracy.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is nothing but institutionalised nepotism and cronyism. Let every Indian say a clear 'No' to dynastic politics in India.

[Manisha Sagar @ManishaS2010]

Why is Sonia allowed to be India's PM maker? It is clear that she wants her own son to be the next PM. Don't we have more suitable choices?

[Richard Cunningham @RCunningham2010]

Why is a country like India with a rich history, mature democracy and intelligent people still depending on just one family for its leaders?

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic rule is a product of political corruption. Ending corruption will end dynastic politics.

[Poonam Bajwa @PoonamB2010]

India's ruling family headed by an uneducated Italian woman wants a half-educated half-Italian man as our next Prime Minister. No way!

[Cindy Callaghan @CCallaghan2010]

Nepotism and cronyism both bypass merit and kill talent. They are the byproducts of dynastic politics.

[Satish Dhawan @SatishDhawan]

Cronyism and nepotism are two illegal forms of favouritism. Both give jobs or positions of power to people who, at best, are second best.

[Seema Biswas @SBiswas2010]

India is abuzz with strong feelings against corrupt practices such as nepotism, cronyism, favouritism and dynasty-building. Wonderful!

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Rahul Gandhi accusing Mayavati of dalal-raj is like the kettle calling the pot black! India has to be rid of dalals as well as dynasties.

[Anuradha Jain @AnuradhaJ2010]

India is a great country with very intelligent men and women. Is it not time for us to look outside this one family for our future leaders?

[Promila Mahajan @PromilaMahajan]

I am glad Indian people are coming in large numbers against India's foreign-headed ruling dynasty. In my opinion, they are not worth it.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is producing second-rate leaders in India. We must say 'No' to dynasties and move to a meritocratic way of doing things.

[Arjun Monappa @ArjunMonappa]

@NaomiMahapatra That family seems to behave as if they own India!

[Arjun Monappa @ArjunMonappa]

@DrRamOfIndia It is time to pension this family off as we pensioned off all rulers of our princely states immediately after independence.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

In dynastic politics, merit is irrelevant because birth determines everything. Ignoring merit is a luxury which India can no longer afford.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics has no future in India. More and more Indians are joining the national campaign against this kind of political corruption.
