Congress: A Party which shaped India
Congress’ only fault was that it never took credit for all the good things it did, because its aim was never to get praises but only to see its country growing and blooming.
However, the other parties misused this humbleness of the Congress, and accredited themselves with such policies and programmes that were originally brought into place by the grand old party.
The one to top in this list is the BJP, which has always taken recognition for programmes, the foundation of which were being laid by the Congress.
Well, we think, it’s high time to bring to light that Congress which has always worked for its India, with the aim of bringing in only and only well-being for the country.
Congress is that rock which has laid the foundation of today’s India. It is this Congress which stood with the country during pre-independence era, took part in its freedom struggle, helped in achieving freedom and then built that free India, in which all of us now freely breathe and live.
It was Congress which brought in the 1947 Indian Independence Act, marking the country’s freedom from British rule and then set up the Constitution in 1950, declaring India a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty, and endeavours to promote fraternity among them.
Congress has till date batted for equality. It’s intentions were crystal clear when it introduced the 1948 Minimum Wages Act, 1955 Protection of Civil Rights Act (untouchability made an offence to ensure social justice and equality), 1971 Abolition of Privy Purse (A step towards an egalitarian and just society), 1975 Twenty Point Programme (To eradicate poverty and improve the quality of life of the under privileged), 1976 Abolition of bonded labour (prevent economic and physical exploitation of the weaker section), 1980 Integrated Rural Development Programme (to enable identified rural poor families to cross poverty line), 1983 Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme (to provide guaranteed employment to at least one member of every landless household up to 100 days in a year). All this only to achieve an egalitarian society with no biasness.
The party has its objectives clear right from the beginning. Working for the welfare of the masses, the Congress formulated acts for every section of the society, be it women, children, backward classes or farmers.
With 1961 Dowry Prohibition Act to 2006-07 Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, from 1989 The Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act to 2007 Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, the Congress has always kept all the classes within its for elevating them to a level where they can live respectfully.
Some of the other acts in the same direction include, 1987 National Child Labour Policy (An action plan for tackling the problem of child labour), 1993 Mahila Samridhi Yojana (To provide economic security and financial inclusion of rural women), 1995 Mid-Day Meal Scheme (To improve nutritional levels among children and to enhance their enrolment and attendance in schools), 2005 National Rural Health Mission and many more.
Some of the revolutionary changes were also brought under the Congress rule, for instance, the 1967
Green Revolution which transcended India from a food deficient country to one of the leading agricultural nations.
Similarly, the first nuclear test was also conducted under the Congress regime in 1974, giving the tag of a nuclear power to India.
Indian economy aimed to reach new heights when Congress gave to it the 1991 Economic Liberalisation and another Look East Policy, enabling it to develop economic and strategic relations with the Eastern countries.
Some of the acts strengthening the rights of the citizens and giving them the power to question the government was also formulated by none other than the Congress.
We got the Right to Information Act in 2005, which helped in promoting transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.
The 2009 Right to Education Act made education a fundamental right of every child between the age of 6 and 14.
How can we forget the Aadhaar, yes the same Aadhaar, the credit of which has been very conveniently snatched by the BJP.
Aadhaar was a Congress-born idea which was announced in 2009. It was the unique ID program (To give a unique ID based on demographic and bio-metric data and link it with welfare schemes), the same which has now been painted by the BJP as their initiative.
How can one forget the 2013 Nirbhaya Act. Post the brutal Nirbhaya Gangrape of December 2012, the responsible Congress understood the need for a stringent law, to punish those perpetrators committing such heinous crimes.
Well, this is just a short summary of all that the Congress has done for this country till date. The unfortunate part is, however, people believing this to be the work of those who have only spoken till now but have failed to deliver.
A Tribute to our former “weak” Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on a day when LPG prices have been Hiked again digging a Hole in the pockets of the common man.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister because during his tenure he did not change as many expensive suits, feather caps and shoes as our dear Modijee.

How dare Dr. Singh not go on as many Foreign Trips as our dear Modijee does with his Gujarati Dance Troupes and media friends?
Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister because during his tenure he steered the Economy to safety during the troubled Economic Recession of 2008 which singed the Economy of the whole world unlike our great Modijee who took a perfectly performing Economy and turned it into a Laboratory to satiate his Ego and arrogance.
Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister because during his tenure he never did Monnkey Baath every month but was more interested in the Mann ki Baath of his citizens. How Unfortunate.
Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister because during his tenure he never allowed hundreds of our soldiers to be martyred nor did he go and hug Nawaz Sharief, the leader of a Terrorist nation.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister because during his tenure he never attempted to Fudge Data, Copy-Paste NDA Policies, Fake Information or Bluff through his Teeth. He decided to commit the most sinful act of being Honest instead of making frivolous Legal arguments to defend his Failings like our expert Lawyer Jaitley Saab does. He also did not loiter around Twitter and Facebook all day long nor did he build a Troop of Unpad Bhakths who could spread Lies and abuse people who criticized him.
Last but not the least, Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister because during his tenure he did not build a coterie of Punjabi Bureaucrats around him to give him the wrong advices and chant Har Har SinghJeee every Day and Night
If this was not enough, Dr. Manmohan Singh was a weak Prime Minister even while in Opposition because he got his predictions right that Demonetization was a Monumental Blunder and Organized Loot and that it would bring down the GDP by 2%. How dare Dr. Singh speak the Truth in a New India where Hard Working Donkeys are preferred over Harvard Economists??
Disclaimer: Arnob Gauswamy people are not Fools. Everytime BJP blunders you cant fool people by digging into the past Files of Congress and allegedly attempting to protect BJP through your allegedly sinister designs of Defaming Congress. We have had enough of your Dirty Games that even we, the common citizens, have begun to see through it
