Congress & talking about freedom, what an irony
by Anuya Singh on Aug 09, 2017 04:40 PM

Their leader unleashed emergency for 19 months in the mid 70s & these people still have the temerity to talk about freedom, liberty etc. What an irony for the country.

Talking about democracy is even more hilarious when the party itself has been run like a personal fiefdom of a single Nehru-Gandhi family since 1947. No wonder they are in power in hardly 5-6 states including the North East out of the 29. Unless they decide to wake up & see the reality & have a positive different agenda to appeal to the masses, 2019 may just see them stuck at 40-50 LS seats or the tally could go down further. Anti Modi-ism & anti BJPism will only help as an add on when you have specific positive agendas & deliverables of your own. Simply yelling from rooftops about vigilantism & fear among a section of the society-as if that did not exist in the last 60yrs-is going to do precious little to move forward.

Ultimately one must remember than BJP got just a little more than 30% of the total votes in 2014 & that was sufficient to see them thru to 282 seats. So certain sections of the society may continue to remain in self generated fear perpetually that is not going to make much of a dent in electoral politics & seats in the Lok Sabha.
