The DMK, Shiv Sena, and Samajwadi Party experienced succession turbulence, and the RJD recently saw a milder version of it.

Some see the shadow of a daughter-nephew tussle in the developments in the NCP, now divided into two groups.

Kavitha has given a sheen of ideology to the dispute while questioning KCR's silences on controversial issues.
