Dynasty candidates contesting Haryana and Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019

Haryana has been a hotbed for dynasty politics for decades and it’s not different for the Assembly election 2019.

Maharashtra, on the other hand, is seeing a lot more candidates from political families contesting the election this time around. Not just from Congress — the party normally under the lens for dynasty politics — but also from the BJP, Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

Some candidates are looking to carry their family legacy forward, like the Hoodas in Haryana and Deshmukhs in Maharashtra. Others are contesting the election against their own family members for the same constituency, like the Mundes.
