To reinforce their political image and lineage to gain unfair ''"instant recognition"'' for multiple generations, dynasts engage in wastage of government resources and taxpayer's money, for example erecting numerous statues of the dynast leaders, naming multiple institutes and schemes after the same dynastic leaders of own clan, etc.; this money could have been better spent on the welfare of poor and the development of the state. To reverse and prevent this, there have been demands for the ''"anti-dynasty laws"'' and the ''"anti-dynasties pro-martyrs institution naming policies"'' to specifically exclude the dynasts and politicians, and to include the martyrs and the non-political prominent achievers in the specific area. To keep the rivals out of power and to prevent the rise of emerging challengers, the political dynasties often misuse state agencies, police, vigilance bureau, false cases with planted evidence to persecute and harass their rivals in each district and village in a psychopathic manner.Modi-Shah’s BJP has taken India’s politics of vendetta to a new level

Political dynasties collude to maintain the status quo, by preventing the non-dynastic better-skilled more-capable challengers/candidates being elected to the power.
