Does the Indira Gandhi family own India?

Who owns India? The Indira Gandhi family? Why do people in politics have to stoop to the lowest level when it comes to pleasing their political masters? Indira Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi do not need such populist things. Indira was a master leader and politician. Jawaharlal was the first prime minister. This in itself is a great deed. But each time the Congress party comes to power it starts naming everything after Indira or Rajiv or Nehru. Have a look at this list-
