Indian politics is infested with the political tussle between uncles and their nephews in case both are ambitious. Umpteen examples can be given of this type of political battle due to which many parties have remained limited to only regional boundaries. Otherwise, these parties are full of so talented leaders that, they might have become national parties. The recent example of such uncle-nephew conflict has come from Bihar where the recent victim is the Lokjan Shakti party or LJP. The party once led by Ramvilas Paswan had six members in recently held Bihar assembly elections and the son of departed leader Chirag was the leader. But, five out of six Loksabha members have formed a separate group and demanded to remove Chirag from the leadership. The five MPs have selected the uncle of Chirag Paswan, Pashupati Kumar Paras as their leader in the lower house. The separate group has not defected NDA and Paras has announced that the group will remain part of the ruling combination. Everybody knows that the mastermind of this move is JD(U) and it wants to teach BJP a lesson. In the Bihar assembly elections, BJP got more seats than JDU and so though Nitish Kumar has been retained as chief minister by BJP, Nitish considers his humiliation.  So, he was restless in this situation and he selected LJP as the first target for giving message to BJP. Of course, LJP's new group or JDU has no courage to desert NDA in these hard times. With this episode, another uncle-nephew conflict has added to already many ones. In Maharashtra, the most famous example is Shivsena chief late Balasaheb Thackray and his nephew Raj  Thackray. People still consider Raj as the original successor of Balasaheb but, SS chief suddenly brought forward name of his son and now Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackray. The disgruntled Raj deserted Sena and formed his own party. Many Shivsena supporters are said to be displeased with Balasaheb Thackray’s decision as Raj had built the party from ground level. He has the same aggressive speech style as Balasaheb and his voice is nearly identical with his voice.  In Uttar Pradesh, another glittering example of such conflict of blood relations is Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav. His uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav has made much trouble to Akhilesh and in this fight, his father Mulayam Singh Yadav also took sides of his brother. This is a rare case. Though BJP has overpowered all the parties in UP, the confrontation between Akhilesh and Shivpal can return to the surface at any time.  These internal conflicts usually absorb the energy and power of any party which is extremely necessary to remain influential.  Another fact is that such conflicts always surface in the parties which are ruled by one family. National parties do not face such problems as the decision-taking process is entirely completed by collective decisions. Left is also an exception to this like BJP. Left parties polit bureau is the apex body to take any decision and so there is no possibility of emerging such type of tussle.  In all these fights, the nephews have never won is another fact that can’t be ignored.  There are many dynasties in Maharashtra where such uncles and nephews conflicts have emerged and finally, the parties have been weakened by such fights. Persons remain in power or powerless, but parties have to face the irreparable damage.
