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.
Congress opposition to empowering NIA doesn’t make sense
excellant sir.
While campaigning for the last Assembly election, Captain Amarinder Singh had said this would be his last contest. He has been in public life for fifty years, will complete his term on a high. The fact that his name was suggested for party President is itself an honour. One does not know if Shri Sidhu is CM material, who and how good the other contenders will be in a post AS era. However, it is in everyone’s interest to keep the boat steady. There is already a radar lock on other Congress state governments.
