Congress or the Indian National Congress (INC) is one of two major political parties in India. It was founded in 1885 and played a leading role in India’s Independence movement. It has ruled during most of India’s independent years and gave the country its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Leadership of the Congress too has been dominated by the Nehru-Gandhi family.
The Congress is a center-left party, and lists on its website democracy, nationalism, secularism, inclusive growth and social justice as its core values. It last ruled India between 2004 and 2014, but has since lost its sway, being reduced to just 52 seats in the 2019 General Elections. INDIA, the alliance headed by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, was an attempt to bring together opposition parties against the BJP government for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Together, the INDIA Alliance secured 238 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha. The Congress won 99 of these.
Hi! The editorial board at The Print!
Can we readers expect an editorial expressing unconditional support for freedom of expression of Ms. Sharmishtha Panoli?
Can we expect an unqualified castigation and excoriation of Bengal Police and Ms. Mamata Banerjee for such “dictatorial” and “fascistic” actions?
Dr. Tharoor is much taller than his party. The way Congress has treated Shashi Tharoor is absolutely atrocious. Rahul Gandhi and his lackeys – Jairam Ramesh and Mallikarjun Kharge, have been exposed for what they truly are – utterly incompetent and insecure idiots whose boundless jealousy is next only to their own infinite ego.
Multi domain awareness. Beyond visual range. Stand off weapons. Unlike the Army, the Air Force cannot say, We will fight with what we have. They need weapons on par with the PLA, which is benchmarking itself to the Pentagon.
