Its really unfortunate that a party which so called fought for Independence of India, against the British rule & its anarchy, itself doesn't believe in democracy. The biggest problem after independence was that, being no strong political opposition party in India, congress became a NIRANKUSH party. The hangover of power had overpowered Mr.Nehru. On 15th August, 1947 after Independence, India was declared as a DEMOCRATIC country, it meant that the Government has to be a elected one but unfortunately as the Supreme powerful leaders at that time treated this country as their own property and thus they forgot to go for election. The government which was headed by Congress's Nehru, was ruling this country without proper Election. The first general election was held in FREE INDIA in year 1952, FIVE years after Independence. ( a compulsion due to Constitution ). The excuse can be given for not having election in 1947, due to lack of our own Constitution. Then in this case the first general Election should have been held in year 1950, after constitution came into existence.
This Compulsion of Constitution was arm twisted by Mrs Indira Gandhi by using Article 352. The Sixth General Election was held in India in March 1977, SIX years after fifth general election, extending the FIVE years terms to SIX years for enjoying the power.
The Emergency ( 25 June 1975, - 21 March 1977 ) was darkest period of Independent India, and it stamped the thought of ruler mentality of Congress which never believe in democracy. There was a slogan raised by Congress during Indira reign was “INDIRA is INDIA & INIDA is INDIRA”. Yes, the only difference between these two words is alphabet “R” which is in the name of Indira. The “R” words stands for “RULER” which she inherited from Mr.Nehru and passed on to her successor.
Even being in a Democratic country, but having ruler mentality Congress was not able to accept the fact that some other party can come into power. Mr. Nehru, impatiently reacted by using Article 356, first time in Kerala in year 1959 and overthrew a democratically elected government.
The above act of impatience was again repeated, when their Supremacy was challenged by a Party which came into power in five states of Northern India. All the government of BJP was dismissed by using a excuse of failure of state machinery in Uttar Pradesh during Ayodhya Andolan in 1992.
After reading the above fact’s you may suggest me to change the tittle of this article from “CONGRESS & IT’S DEMOCRACY” to “CONGRESS OWN’S DEMOCRACY”

Superb.. I really loved the last phrase "Congress's Own Democracy".. And how true !!
ReplyDeleteIts indeed a valid point to ask why we dint conduct elections in the year 1950. I am not against the Nehru-Gandhi family. They only ruled. But.. What did we Indians do? Treated them like gods and allowed them not only to rule us, but also, to ruin us..
We need to do some introspection. BJP may have their share of in-fighting. But at least they have a democratic set up. A party, which doesnt follow democracy in its own functioning, cannot be expected to rule the Biggest Democracy properly.
The Time for change has come..
Support and Vote for BJP.. Because, India Deserves Better..

Nice,,,
ReplyDeleteBut in my view these are the shortcommings of politics.
Basic problem is we dont have any other option rather than to choose amoung the worst.
Neither of the political party in India has ethics, whether its Congress, BJP or any other else, without any exception they are full with opportunist, criminals and all.
It will not be right to blame a single party.
India need a young face to lead the world and currently we dont have any other option than INC as they have comparatively more youth leaders who are energetic, daynamic and educated, than any other party,
