That's a weird statement to make, considering that the current PM is a self-made man without any old money, family name or ivy league connections. Infact, most of the high ranking people in his cabinet are self-made men like him. The current Home Minister of India for example started his career as a polling-booth level canvasser in the party.
If a poor self-made man rising to the top in free and fair elections (results accepted by everyone) is a murder of democracy, then you need to find the correct definition of democracy.

But their actions say otherwise[1][2][3]. [1] https://m.thewire.in/article/politics/bjp-congress-political-dynasties-lok-sabha https://m.thewire.in/article/politics/bjp-congress-political...

- kranner 6y agoThere are many examples of fascists who were self-made men. It doesn’t have anything to do with democracy at all.
