Promila Mahajan

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Corruption is not just government officials doing favours in return for bribes. Dynastic politics is a blatant form of political corruption.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is a blatant form of political corruption. You can see why India's ruling dynasty is not keen about our war on corruption!

[Vedita Mehta @VeditaMehta]

Rahul Gandhi will be a disaster as India's Prime Minister. We have done well without anyone from the dynasty as PM for the last 22 years.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

@VeditaMehta Most Indians do not want Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister. As you say, we have done very well for 22 years without a dynastic PM.

[Ken Livingstone @Livingstone2000]

@VeditaMehta In my opinion, Rahul Gandhi will do ten times as much damage to India as Tony Blair did for Britain. India, stay clear of him.

[Nitin Patel @NitinP2010]

@VeditaMehta India has done well without a Prime Minister from this family for a generation. Now don't let this idiot spoil that!

[Gouri Vishwanath @GouriVishwanath]

Rahul as Prime Minister? Have we gone mad?

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

In the last 22 years, India has established a very effective method of choosing its Prime Minister which rewards merit and disregards birth.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Any more Indian Prime Ministers from the 'ruling' dynasty will go against our new promise to ourselves - birth will no longer bypass merit.

[sudarshan Rao @sudarshanR2010]

Rahul visits rape victims. Does he want to become the next Mother Teresa? Surely this is not the right training for a future Prime Minister!

[Shiv Iyengar @ShivIyengar]

Rahul takes an army of media-men with him when he visits a rape victim. So what? He remains a half-educated, immature and opinionated brat.

[Frankie Murray @FrankieM2010]

@GouriVishwanath Why dont you ship him to Italy? After all, he is half-Italian! In Italy, he will have to work for a living unlike in India!

[Namita Grover @NamitaG2010]

@GouriVishwanath Exactly, we have to be raving mad even to consider that moron for the Prime Ministership of our country!

[Harry Crouch @HarryC2010]

@VeditaMehta Why are you even considering Rahul Gandhi for PM's job? India has so many other intelligent, talented and experienced people.

[Meena Rathore @MeenaR2010]

I am sick of watching Sonia Gandhi playing the role of a ruling monarch in India. She is determined to keep the PM's job within her family!

[Pankaj Kaul @PankajKaul2010]

Morality has taken a backseat in our quest for power. In this regard, Rahul Gandhi is no better than Lallu P Yadav or Mulatam S Yadav. Sad!

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics combines two common forms of political corruption - cronyism and nepotism. It is what is holding India back in every way.

[Gwen Thomas @GwenThomas2010]

@DrRamOfIndia Dynastic politics is a throwback a bygone era when monarchy was the norm. In this modern age, it is, largely, an anachronism.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Indian democracy is deteriorating into a kleptocracy where thieves rule. Only a total clean up can produce true meritocratic rule in India.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics has produced a kleptocratic ruling class in India. Our task is to change from a kleptocratic to a meritocratic democracy.
