Why the Congress Party Is Losing Strength in Modern India

Open your eyes and see the reality. The propaganda around the Congress Party gaining strength may not align with the facts. While it has won a couple of recent elections, the overall trend indicates a shrinking influence.

Reality Check

Does the Congress Party really have more strength now? Or is it losing ground in state after state?

Let's explore some key points:

Appeasement Politics and Freebies

Appeasement politics and the promise of freebies are often seen as a disaster for the nation. The Congress party's continued practice of such policies, in part driven by the desire of the Sonia Gandhi family for power at any cost, is not helping national development. Instead, it is making India weaker.

Broken from Inside: The Congress Party's Struggles

The suggestion that the Congress Party won in two states, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka, means it's getting stronger is misleading. The victory in Karnataka was due to factors like fluctuating gas and oil prices. However, these victories are inconsistent with the broader narrative of the Congress party's weakening influence.

Double Standards and Questionable Practices

For instance, while cows are being sent to slaughterhouses, the government uses cow urine for cleaning assemblies. Such practices, if they are indeed happening, reveal a lack of consistency and perhaps even hypocrisy.

The party has also relied on the support of a specific demographic group for votes, which raises concerns about the legitimacy and broad appeal of its policies.

National Security and Support for BJP

At the national level, the story is quite different. National security and national interest seem to be aligned with the support for PM Modi and the BJP. Several northern and heartland states now talk about the 'Modi Model' and the 'Uttar Pradesh Model' as successful frameworks for governance.

Modi's Global Influence and the BJP

Modi's foreign trips, including his three-nation visit, have significantly bolstered the BJP's and his own status. The global receptions, including his hug with Biden in Australia and his visit to Papua New Guinea, have positioned India as a global leader. The G20 summit in Kashmir has also raised Indian influence and attracted jealousy from Pakistan. The government's fight against corruption is also appreciated by the people, further solidifying support for the BJP.

The Modi government has taken strong measures, such as demonetization and implementation of the instant loan system, which have had a positive impact on the common man. These policies have more significantly impacted political parties rather than the general public.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the Congress party might appear to be gaining strength in certain regional pockets, the overall landscape of Indian politics shows declining influence for them. It is crucial to look beyond the rhetoric and focus on the real metrics of governance and public support. Support for Modi and the BJP is a testament to the people's faith in national leadership and policy frameworks rather than political party strength.
