Accordingly congress, an organization that arose for the freedom struggle, has made a radical contribution to the development of India: said deputy chief minister and KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar. With the world's largest democratic system, india is a country that spreads the message of unity in diversity through multiculturalism. The political system here has grown to include pluralism. Although there has been an attempt to uproot this pluralism and bring in a one-party system, only the congress is re-extending its roots and growing proudly. The congress, which has established unprecedented power in karnataka and telangana in the south, is growing to the dismay of even its opponents, a repeat of history. On the 139th foundation day of the congress party, the rapid expansion of the largest organization is being reinterpreted.
Meanwhile when the very first convention was held in mumbai on december 28, 1885, not many expected that this organization would reach the masses. At that time, all the leaders were concerned about the country's freedom and improving the quality of life of the people. As the congress expanded in later years, the people gained a lot of confidence in the party. people believed that this is our party because they were involved in freedom struggles, social equality, tax relief etc. Even when Pandit jawaharlal nehru became the prime minister, india gained international fame. Then during Indira Gandhi's time, the saying 'India means Indira' was popular. It is true that the party has seen many ups and downs in between. But the then young leader Rajiv gandhi gave new hope to the country and brought a new look to reform the political system. He traveled all over the country promising to change the direction of the country's progress in the minds of the people.
Furthermore as already mentioned, history repeats itself. Rajiv Gandhi's son rahul gandhi has re-instilled that hope in the hearts of the people through the ``Bharat Jajpai'' campaign. No matter how much criticism was received from the opposition parties, in the end the Janata Janardhanas took the hand of the Congress. Recently, a similar historical record has been recorded in telangana as well. The way leaders like Rajiv gandhi united the minds of the people, now leaders like sonia gandhi, rahul gandhi, Mallikarjuna Kharge and others are working to unite the minds of the people. A very easy way to win people's minds in politics is to unite their minds perfectly. As a result of congress realizing the insight of the people's mind and embarking on this work and giving assurances of direct benefits to the people affected by the price hike, the people wholeheartedly supported the party. In addition to this, it should be recalled here that people erupted against the corrupt government of the past and our young activists enthusiastically reached door to door and sought support to end the misrule. On this auspicious occasion of the Foundation Day, the 'Donate to the Country' campaign has been launched to raise financial resources, with a minimum donation of ₹138, ₹1,380 and ₹13,800. Through this people are being involved in the progress of the party. This is an inspiration from mahatma Gandhi.
What did congress do?
Moreover the opposition parties have raised the question of what the congress, which ruled for most of the years since independence till 2014, has done for the country. During 2004-2014, the then prime minister Manmohan Singh's government provided 100 days of work to rural families through employment guarantee. According to a study, this important measure reduced the poverty rate from 2004-05 to 2011-12. A reduction of 32 percent prevented 14 crore people from falling into poverty. Foodgrains rationing was implemented by the historic Food Security Act to alleviate the hunger of the people. Due to the Special Economic Zones Act in 2012-13 the export volume in these sectors was There was an increase of 31 percent. While the RTI Act brought transparency in the governance system, RTE gave children a special right to education in the education system. It was also the UPA government that brought in the Aadhaar identity system that the opposition then followed today.
Congress for the survival of the Constitution
The congress has been increasing its strength with the aim of protecting the constitution including the aspirations of secularism, equality, sovereignty etc. Facing new challenges in the new era, the party is advancing with the determination to give future to the poor, Dalits, backward class and minority community. The congress party has a great responsibility of social work to spread love among those who divide minds and sow hatred on the basis of caste and religion. For this our party is inspired by the support of the people and the example of the steps taken by the senior leaders in history. In this regard, the party workers will work more in the interest of the people and strengthen the hope that it will happen as promised.
“Democracy is not just a form of government. It is basically the feeling of respect that everyone in the society shows to each other," said constitutional architect Dr. B.R. Ambedkar said. congress has assumed the responsibility of building such a system and protecting it from harm.
