Why Congress is the opposite of Progress

Some people fervently believe the Congress party (and especially the Gandhi family) has sacrificed for terrorism? M.K.Gandhi wanted the Congress to be disbanded after independence. The Congress party has systematically polluted the minds of the populace by naming every street, lake, airport, park, government initiative and institution after the Nehru family. The honorable Gandhi name has been usurped by Priyadarshini Nehru's bloodline for political ends. The Congress has made Gandhi-worship a religion of its own, rather than making the national flag first priority. Any election victory by the Congress is supposedly because of the family, while any defeat is because the congress workers could not convert the groundswell of support into votes. The first family has been kept squeaky clean by the sycophants in every rung of the Congress party.

The Congress plays the caste/religion divide up much more than the BJP has done. Arjun Singh belongs to the Indian National Congress. YSR, who brought about a reservation system for the muslims, is a member of the Indian National Congress. The Congress indulges in shameless fear-mongering among the minority community and gets fatwas to its benefit. Is that not communalism? Manmohan has demanded that Muslims be allowed "first use of resources" in a resource-starved country. If that is not blatant unconstitutional communalism, then what is?

The Congress has systematically destroyed institutes, put India on permanent life-support, and bred sycophancy at all levels. The "foreign-returned" members of the "Gandhi" family, namely Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, have not passed out with degrees. They are hardly the kind of educated decision-makers who deserve to be deciding important policy matters. They are not worthy to comment on the IITs and IIMs, much less destroy it. The mockery the Congress has made of the offices of the President and the CEC has not gone unnoticed. Pratibha Patil's only qualification is how faithful she has been to the "family", which is not the way to go while selecting capable leaders. She was holidaying in Bali when the Mumbai attacks happened last year. That is shameful to say the least. And let us not even talk about Shivraj Patil and his dress sense during the time of crisis. The Golden quadrilateral initiative taken by the NDA was the best example of how the government could facilitate growth and development of the nation by enabling farmers and industrialists to progress. The Congress approach of reservations in the guise of affirmative action is definitely not conducive to a dream of India becoming a developed nation, even by 2500 AD.

The Congress has rushed through an opaque nuclear deal with a US administration that was in its last days. There was absolutely no debate carried out on the issue. Admittedly the BJP and the Left were not acting maturely in this aspect, but the Congress has been instrumental in ending our nuclear freedom and handing over the reins to the americans.

Manmohan has been one of the most ineffectual prime ministers in our history. His absence for three months in such a crucial juncture (economic slowdown, terror) has not even been noticed, showing everybody how irrelevant he actually is in the scheme of things. He has kept the seat warm for Rahul Gandhi to ascend sometime when he decides he is ready. His rule has seen the escalation of terrorist attacks in a large part caused due to wilful negligence for the sake of votes of the extremists within the minority community. The Congress harping on ONE Kandahar incident does not cut much ice with the educated people of India, who have seen blasts caused in every major city of the country under Congress rule. The Congress's refusal to recognize the threat posed by the political philosophy of totalitarian Islam that is ravaging the whole world today has been the prime reason for the increasing audacity of the terrorists from across the border. If intelligence was acted upon, we would never have seen the likes of what happened on 26/11 in Mumbai AND what happened in every major city in the past four-five years. But the Congress was focussed on "Hindu terrorism", through selective media leaks and highly suspect investigations. This blind-eye policy toward the actual terrorists is criminal, anti-national and unforgivable. The fear-mongering of the Congress about "Hindu terrorism" and "Talibanisation" displays both an astounding ignorance of the actual meanings of the terms "Terror" and "Taliban" and a cynical attempt to manipulate the voters of the minority community who should be offended by the perception the Congress has of the minorities as gullible, retarded and anti-national.

The Congress has manipulated every available loophole, taken the electorate for retarded gullible fools (to be fair, most of the electorate DOES consist of the aforementioned demographic) and set India on a backward path for its own ends. It is okay for India to be backward. What is not acceptable is to be moving in a backward direction, which the Congress is hell-bent on doing for the sake of perpetuating its votebank.

Hope springs eternal. I can always hope that the voter realizes the harm the Congress has caused to India in the past, is currently causing and will continue to cause in the foreseeable future. But I know better. I know evolution does not move fast enough to ensure the voter grows intelligent from one poll to the next. India desires better, but it does not deserve better. We are deluded in the belief that we will one day become one of the greatest nations in the world. But the only greatness we are ever going to achieve in the current scenario is in terms of population size.

Screw you guys, I'm going home.
