Political Dynasties Shine in India's 2024 Lok Sabha Elections

Next-gen political families had a notable presence in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with several members either winning or leading their respective constituencies. Notable winners and leaders include Karan Bhushan Singh, Bansuri Swaraj, Shrikant Shinde, and Radhakrishna Doddamani. However, some candidates, such as Prajwal Revanna and Anil Antony, are trailing.

Meanwhile, Bansuri Swaraj, daughter of late BJP leader Sushma Swaraj, leads in New Delhi.

Shrikant Shinde, son of Maharashtra's Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has a commanding lead from the Kalyan seat. Suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, accused of multiple rapes, trails by over 42,000 votes in Karnataka's Hassan constituency.

Elsewhere, Congress' Radhakrishna Doddamani, son-in-law to M Mallikarjun Kharge, secured the Gulbarga Lok Sabha seat. BJP's Anil Antony, son of Congress veteran A K Antony, lagged in Kerala. Meanwhile, Soumendu Adhikari and Isha Khan Choudhury, representing BJP and Congress respectively, lead in West Bengal.
