Lok Sabha elections 2024:?Amidst unrelenting attacks from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over dynasty politics in the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc, Congress has fielded the children, grandchildren and other kin in at least 23 out of the 192 constituencies for which candidates have been announced for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024. In Karnataka, three daughters and two sons of five incumbent ministers are contesting the polls.?

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor claimed that it is ingrained within India's cultural fabric and its prevalence was not only within the grand old party but also within the BJP.

Tharoor stood by dynasty politics in parties in the country, saying it's part of India's culture and suggested it's a common practice, not something unusual. "It's a relatively common thing that in India, much more than in the West, a father expects his son to follow his profession, and so it tends to go. So it's not at all surprising that there is a certain level of 'parivar vaad' in all parties," Tharoor said.

Ridiculing the anti-dynasty campaign of Modi during his Lok Sabha election rallies, Tharoor claimed that except for the top few leaders, all the ministers and MPs in the BJP are sons or daughters of other senior BJP officials.

Here is list of leaders

Gaurav Gogoi?

Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, deputy leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from the Jorhat constituency. Gaurav Gogoi is the sitting MP from the Kaliabor constituency, which was rechristened as Kaziranga after delimitation. Gogoi had won by a margin of 82,653 votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections by polling 5,43,288 votes against 4,60,635 of Congress' Sushanta Borgohain, who later joined the BJP.

The Congress leader- the MP from the Kaliabor seat, which was renamed Kaziranga during the delimitation exercise- shifted to Jorhat that was once represented by his late father and former chief minister Tarun Gogoi for three terms in Parliament. Elections for the 14 Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam will take place in three phases on April 19, April 26 and May 7.??

Nakul Nath?

Nakul Nath, the lone Congress MP from Madhya Pradesh who has been renominated from Chhindwara by his party, has declared assets worth nearly Rs 700 crore, according to his election affidavit. The sitting Chhindwara MP, son of former chief minister and influential Congress leader Kamal Nath, had topped the list of 475 Lok Sabha crorepati members in 2019, according to the non-profit Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR).

Of the 29 Lok Sabha seats in MP, the BJP in 2019 had won 28, barring Chhindwara. The saffron party has fielded its district unit president Vivek Bunty Sahu against Nakul Nath. Though the Chhindwara seat has been the bastion of the Congress, with the grand old party losing elections here just once, BJP is channelling all its energies to wrest this seat this time.

The election will be held here in Chhindwara in the first phase on April 19 with five other parliamentary seats which include Sidhi, Shahdol, Jabalpur, Madla and Balaghat in the state. The Lok Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh will be conducted in four phases. The first phase of polling would be held on April 19, followed by April 26, May 7 and May 13.?
