Amethi, Rae Bareli and Baramati—these constituencies immediately bring to a voter’s mind the families that have dominated the political landscape there for decades.

But there are others where multiple generations of a single family have won the people’s mandate for several years like the Owaisis of Hyderabad and the Scindias of Guna.

A trend here is that voters have kept the family name in mind in certain Lok Sabha seats even if family members belonged to different political parties.
