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, is an attempt to bring together opposition parties against the BJP government for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
None of the parties including BJP wants to remain in power by hook or crook. If some one wants serve they can do it even without position. Even if BJP wants to form govt with support of defectors, it may or may not last long. A fresh election along with election of few other states at the end of year is better
Fresh election is the best solution; otherwise the khichadi business will continue to the detriment of Karnataka. While the result of the fresh election is predictable, no one can take the people for granted. Lastly, the earlier the Congress and JD (S) end this tamasha of saving the present Government, the better. The people will feel relieved. If not, the people may get a lot more anti – CONGRESS/JD(S) coalition than at present. BJP is rightly keeping a dignified silence. Mr. Amit Shah has given the finest advice to Karnataka BJP men. They must follow it to the word. – Wg Cdr Ravindra Parasnis (Retd)
The sole purpose of Congress’s alliance with the JDs was to keep the BJP out .It seemed to be tit for tat in response to Goa . But while Goa seems to be doing extremely well , the regime in Banglore is river rafting and crashing from one rock to another .I think the Congress should not wait for the raft and all the rafters to sink , but withdraw support and hope for a better outcome in the ensuing elections whenever they are held.
No fresh elections are required. The BJP will have its cake and eat it too.
