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.
To all those who think only Modi is responsible . Since so many years I am seeing that govt is trying to sell properties to private entrepreneurs or enterprises. The responsibility belongs to all the political parties who have governed. The only answer is eating .stealing from own house . Very sad to say corruption is in blood .
I sometime think when are we going to respect our country .
Why don’t you offer a chance to Dr. Subramanian Swamy to tackle the malady of the present economic situation which is showing almost incessant decline in growth rate? With all due respect to the PM, if experiment can be made with non- economist FM,why not with a renowned economist FM? Is Subramanian Swamy so underrated by you ?
Most of the commentators have been the beneficiaries and contributors to Air-India’s condition today. Not one of them has ever objected to sub-load 10% fare paid by three generations of the Employees, because these very employees have been up-grading the them and the Babus, while full fare paying passengers were denied seats. The thefts of cheese cigarettes and miniature booze bottles were kind of birth right for the employees and their supporters. When you are partners in small crimes it breeds inefficiency and corruption. All those talking about the selling of family silver have left no silver to sell it has already been stolen. The free booters have stolen all the revenue, and they still expect someone to foot their bills.
Those were the days when the stewardess came to AIR-INDIA straight from the Ramps of the beauty contests and married into political , babu or India-Inc families. Those were also the days when the biz and first classes were only meant for upgraded passengers with connections.
You still want this to continue????
UPA should have sold Air India in good time, not given Praful Patel a free pass. Anyway, better late than never. If Dr Swamy is opposed to this decision, he is showing us that he is really not the finest Finance Minister India never had.
He also has bhakts. Aur bhaktoko koun samjhaye?
