The opposition is shit, so I don’t expect any serious threat to him.
They literally disqualify the opposition for any small thing.
BJP MLA openly threathens opposition that ED will raid them. Speaker disqualified MP for repeatedly asking to speak about Manipur.
They dont even fucking listen to the Supreme Court. The speaker still hasnt allowed RG back in even after SP aquittal.
Because the opposition makes it so easy. Still clinging to power rather than stepping aside and letting a new generation of non Gandhis take the helm. RG has been reappointed as MP. Now wait for the annual ‘I’m quitting, no we reject your quitting’ ceremony.
Who is the president on INC?
Mallikarjun Kharge has been the president since October 2022, but Sonia Gandhi, who was the previous president for 25 years, still pulls all the strings in the party.
Man its like you are paid to say that opposition is trash. Must be the new IT Cell copypasta.
Anybody who follows politics even at a surface level knows both sides are in it only for themselves. I hate both parties, but I hate the ruling party even more, because they are a religious, conservative, right wing party. The opposition is not some big left wing party, but at least they don’t focus on identity politics but just work hard to line their own pockets. People who think about me like you said are too blind and want the opposition to succeed. That’s all I can say.
You seem to be differentiating ruling and opposition parties on the basis of their ideologies like left or right. But, when talking about INC not being so left you conveniently forget the recent PR stunts of RaGa meeting to and thus getting exposed to perils of working class of country. Don't you think it will affect the policies of upcoming govt and this govt too.
No parties in India elect their party presidents democratically by allowing party workers to vote.
So most people throughout the country hasn't any problem with dynastic party presidency in INC except those watching too much godi media or BJP IT cell workers. Even that dynasticism in INC has stopped now by INC becoming the first party to democratically elect the party president by allowing all party workers accross the country to vote.
What's important here is that INC respected constitution, democratic institutions and gave them more power and most importantly they were not sold outs like BJP politicians. Let's take Modi for example, this fucker was a RSS worker, turned to fascism, accepted becoming a corporate dog to keep power. He seems to be a powerful figure being Indian PM but we all know he is just a sold out bastered, a corporate dog that is hell bent on selling the country to his few crony owners who are backing him with election expenditures via electoral bonds and lending him media coverage to keep him popular among gullible masses.
BJP has proved that if you remove the Gandhis from INC it will be reduced to just another BJP, a corporate slut, riding on fascism, selling the country to cronies funding their elections. People who want the Gandhis out are just asking for BJP's long wet dream to come true.
All BJP has proven is that if the opposition is not good, they will feel no pressure to change their tactics. Let's keep the gandhis for another 100 years and help BJP build the fourth reich in India.
Thats what they do, blame every thing bad to Gandhis.
Who is they? I'm personally blaming the gandhis because people don't want them in power anymore, but they still cling on to the party leadership. As long as they are there, inc will only help bjp become more powerful. Does the country owe anything to this family anymore? Anybody who deserved any respect have long been rolling in their graves.
I am talking about ruling party here, BJP. They blame every thing bad to be previous govt's faults.
They fear their comparison with Gandhis so much that they are hell bent on discrediting them of any thing good happened to India in their rule.
It's not INC helping BJP getting more powerful but the electoral bonds and current state of media landscape in country.

USA is on the way to fourth, with its media-military ecosystem and things like banning abortion.
Removal of Gandhis mean Congress will actually become just another party for BJP to buy and dismantle. There is plenty of nepotism in NDA parties, just like Congress, and the whole "Nehru/Gandhi bad" trope of Godi media is a cheap ploy anyone can see through with 2 brain cells.
Well, the people who allow everything to happen until it becomes 'their' problem are more of the reason.
Nah, people were always the same. At least in the past the oppositions were good so they had to tone down their shit (both sides). Now the dynastic opposition has become utter shit, so modi has no reason to be concerned or to slow down.
Weakened democratic institutions, ever increasing authoritarianism, growing fascism, brainwashed masses to discard any form of opposition to govt on the basis of ultra nationalism, corporate media's deliberate attempt to keep opposition out of picture, using various state apparatuses to frame cases and punish members of opposition parties are few of the things mainly responsible for opposition looking so shit in India.
Opposition looking so shit is because opposition is one dynastic family hell bent on maintaining their power hold. The ruling party is taking advantage of it and is pushing its authoritarianism, fascism, and religious division without check. If the opposition truly wants to get better, they need to kick this family out. Simple as that. Instead all they do is theatrics of members of this family pretending to quit, and the others rallying to keep them in power. The only other solution is to wait another decade until this opposition party is completely irrelevant, and the third party (AAP) grow bigger and become the new opposition.
