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.
Whatever issue congress come up with BJP is clearly most of the time able to show quite correctly that congress has also done same thing in the past for example the issue of reservation. Rahul gandhi talks about breaking the reservation limit and giving more power to sc, st and obc but it is congress which since independence has been against reservation, their is no sc, st, obc leader in congress which BJP has easily proven. The guarantee that congress gave in karnataka, telangana, Himachal which won them power have also been adopted by BJP so their is nothing with congress to prove that it is better than BJP infact it is worse and the chances of Congress winning are next to nothing against BJP only public anger towards BJP can make congress win which has not reached that level
The only way Congress is relevant in Indian politics is to get rid of the Gandhi family else BJP will carry on forever
CONgress needs to stop listening to charlatans masquerading as journalists, to begin with.
When Vir Sanghvi, a Congress loyalist to the bone, starts questioning Rahul Gandhi, one cannot but wonder where things are headed.
Vir Sanghvi’s pain and hurt at Congress’ misfortunes is quite understandable.
