CONGRESS PARTY - A wave poised to sweep!

Congress Party by dint of its being a national party has always evoked profound respect and love by the India’s millions all over the country.  Having been responsible for steering the course of the nation in the most expedient manner, the party has always been cherished as the pride of the nation in whom people of all categories can trust.

 

Indian National Congress assisted by a number of likeminded regional allies have been managing the government single mindedly without airing differences which may exist within them inherently each being followers of different parties with specific agenda or ideals.  However, throughout the last nearly five years, the alliance has managed to forge ahead with a single aim of achieving the progress of the nation and advancement of people.

 

It has always been the endeavour by Congress Party to carry people along harmonious lines despite serious differences cropping up from alliance parties and partners including the opposition.  Moreover, despite frequent instances of anarchy and chaos indulged in by its own people, the government has never thrown up its hands fed up of the mayhem the people themselves have been indulging in time and again, under one plea or the other. 

 

Congress Party never lay the blame for constant bickering by opposition, hold up of proceedings in parliament or the citizens themselves taking to streets to stall the progress the nation is making through unstinted efforts by the government that was awake to people’s problems.

 

Today the same nation has made huge strides to be acknowledged the world over as an impregnable fortress of democratic values besides being capable of hoisting Common Wealth Games, Asiad and like international events which project the nation as a formidable force to reckon with.

 

All the developments which took place during the last many decades have been the outcome of hardwork and neat execution by Congress Party nurtured to its existence by people of eminence, dignified people who had a dream to see India on top of the world map. 

 

However, the country was never free from high-handedness by vested interests and people who savoured freedom yet preferred luxury and comfort to commitment and hard work. 

 

There is no denying the fact that ever since freedom was wrested from the British rulers, India has been making steady progress on all fronts by huge strides, step by step and the end result of which makes India a force to reckon with. 

 

Years of yearning by renowned and dignified people of eminence, who streamlined a path to enable the nation bloom in the horizon of a new dawn, a new age and a new era with minutely planned strategy for development, have all borne immeasurable fruit.  And Congress Party too has ensured the culmination of the nation to achieving a stage of excellence for the entire world to stand in awe of such fast paced progress which India has been making. 

 

Even today the inheritors of the land namely the Indian National Congress is forging ahead under Smt. Sonia Gandhi with a closely knit team of Congress Party functionaries and workers under the stewardship of Shri Rahul Gandhi, diligently giving the nation a clear direction which will definitely tell on the future of India and its people.

 

A democratically elected government under the able guidance of Congress Party functionaries and officials fully capable of managing the affairs of the nation, is today well entrenched in the saddle, which government and party are fully capable of safeguarding the tomorrow of the nation. 

 

UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government today holds a vibrant majority and the government is in total control of the ill-conceived motives of a fading opposition working in tandem with the disruptive forces behind the veil of a thrust against corruption. 

 

The Opposition has infact thrown up many slogans against corruption, price rise and mismanagement, which will be discussed in detail during the course of time.  However, Congress Party denies all such allegations as a ploy to capture power.  This was also the issues raised by BJP during their gathering in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday 28^th July, 2013. 

 

However, the panic so exhibited by BJP does portray the existence of some kind of wave in favour of Congress Party.  Indeed, Congress Party and Congress Government have in a closely knit fashion worked hard for the progress of the nation but the menace from the main opposition and stray elements have been hampering the government from going ahead with the well designed and ably worked out schemes for the welfare of the nation and people.

 

Incidentally, the random few unscrupulous and corrupt elements bent on destroying the peace of the land have been taken to task by a determined government which has not allowed a let up in the progress the nation has been making ever since.

 

Moreover, the Indian majority stands firmly behind the government and every one strongly denounces the disgruntled hooligans that keep on creating hurdles against the efforts being put in by government for carrying the aspirations of people and nation to a stage of excellence. 

 

No doubt despite all the mayhem being created by the opposition and stray elements the process and functioning of government and the works related to development are going on in full swing which is there for all to see! 

 

The government at the centre is active and decisive with a firm will to establish a corruption-free society. However, there are hurdles that need to be tackled through legal process and procedures by keeping the prestige of the nation in mind. There are areas which need to be preserved from prying eyes of foreign countries, others which need to be kept away from ordinary public and then to clear the hassles for ridding the nation of evil forces at work will need to be done cautiously without stepping on to the rights and privileges of people at different levels.

 

Every democratically elected government functions within the framework of trust and confidence. And every citizen must abide by the norms, laws or bylaws of discipline and confidence, reposing the same measure of trust in the larger interest of the millions for whom the government is striving to bring about an extraordinary period of advancement.

 

Accordingly, the primary responsibility of every citizen is to abide by the norms, laws or bylaws of discipline by extending a hand of cooperation to the government. However, the present day mob has unevenly twisted the values and ideals of democracy to press for their arbitrary and unilateral demands without heeding the presence of government put in place.

 

Agitation within the periphery of democracy ought to be suggestive and constructive for the government but stretching the rights and opportunities granted to people to extreme levels is making a mockery of the very Constitution adopted by the nation for a self rule by way of democracy.  This attitude does not augur well for a democratic nation (India) aspiring to be a super power.

 

Incidentally, such approach only favors the extremists or unsocial elements. It amounts to harboring mistrust towards government or looking the other way, while the extremists gain a free hand to move about unchecked.

 

People have a notion that the government is there to work magic and they hold a constitutional right to hammer down their demands. This manifests scant regard for priorities, bypassing of general good and future of the nation.

 

If the public cannot see eye to eye with the government, if the public cannot put forward their points of view across the table without allowing the government to legislate with due regard for the entire nation, it would imply a certain amount of disregard for values that matter viz. honesty, reality and truth. 

 

Invariably, at the very drop of a hat, the mob runs amuck looking for scapegoat, and the only one they pick to pour out their fury is the government! Thanks! Had there been no government, imagine the number of innocent human beings who would have fallen victim to these extremist-tainted mob who would leave no stone unturned to bury their ire taking a heavy toll in its wake. 

 

Where exactly are we right in our intentions that the determined extremists are not? How do we distinguish ourselves as peace loving citizens, but miserably fail to compromise with day to day problems arising out of our own culpability and place the onus on the government? If everyone attempted to do some soul searching for the causes and reasons for the unfortunate incidents, we might as well find ourselves at both ends i.e. the perpetrators of the act as also the victims! 

 

The prime responsibility of people is to trust the government, abide by laws and norms of discipline and extend a hand of cooperation. No amount of control can ward off the extremist elements if people look the other way. There is no magic wand and if people harbor mistrust about the rulers such a situation can only favor the terrorists, hence the blasts!

 

People have a notion that the government is there to work magic and they have the constitutional right to hammer down their demands. They have scant regard for priorities, the general good and future of the nation. It implies that we are unable to see eye to eye with honesty, reality and truth. To be precise, we lack in judgment. In our quest for a scapegoat, we frantically run around like headless cock to let our fury go at the first name that strikes uppermost in our minds.  And the closest and the easiest prey happen to be the government! Thanks!  Here is hard cash – take it or leave it!  A pause.

 

Awake India!  Awake all.  Awake the young. Awake old!  Rise up to a new age.  Awake with a ray of hope.  Congress Party, the trusted ones of the dignified days of freedom struggle, the elite of Mahatma Gandhi’s chosen guild, the chosen ones of the independent India which stood undeterred to steer the nation clear of hurdles under a charismatic leader in Smt. Indira Gandhi followed by a dignified icon in Shri Rajiv Gandhi and which India made giant strides to this very day under the spectacular guidance of Smt. Sonia Gandhi is beckoning you to assert yourselves forthright.
