Political dynasties are making a strong showing in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with family members leading or winning in numerous constituencies. The scions of notable politicians like Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav, and H D Deve Gowda are demonstrating the enduring power of their political legacies.

In Bihar, Lalu's daughters, Misha Bharti and Rohini Acharya, are contesting seats in Patliputra and Saran, respectively. Bharti has secured a significant lead over BJP's Ram Kripal Yadav, while Acharya is trailing behind BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudy.

Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, the Yadavs are making substantial gains as five family members contest, with Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav showing commanding leads in Kannauj and Mainpuri.
