Succession planning in Politics: A Study in Indian context

The present study is about the succession planning in politics. The study traced the dynasty of succession in various political parties. Political parties at central and state level are discussed in order to examine the succession planning among the political families. Politics is considered as business rather than a profession. BJP and regional parties are seen as blaming Congress for family succession as their culture but have also proliferated their families in heading chief positions. Nowadays politics of India is passing through the transition and „promoting the family‟ appears to be a consistent part of their life. Leaders need to change their behaviour of selfishness in order to boost the country to grow and prosper without any hindrance of corruption.
