These are the "three ills" of the country which must quit India, he said.
"For the sake of india, its security, integrity, it is very important that these three ills, blatant family rule, corruption, and shameful appeasement, quit india," Prasad told reporters.
"If the country's democratic fabric of the country is to be safeguarded, probity in politics has to be brought back and saved in the country, these three curses have to quit India," he added.
Meanwhile, the BJP MPs staged a demonstration at Parliament House Complex seeking the banishment of dynasty politics, corruption, and appeasement politics from the country.
