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.
As I suggested on your Manipur article, Mr. Roy Barman, please start doing some serious, honest and authentic journalism.
Your brand of yellow journalism which pushes under the rug the ugly xenophobic attitude of north-eastern tribes towards non-tribals, the gross abuse of the Sixth Schedule to harrass, intimidate and hound non-tribals in these states is absolutely sickening.
It’s never too late to course correct. Hope you start afresh and do some solid journalism vis-a-vis northeast India.
