Congress Policies No Alternative (to BJP)


The Congress party ruled the country for over four decades. Its policies
and record of government contributed to the present plight of the people
and the country. Its failure to strengthen the foundations of democracy,
secularism, federalism and its anti-people policies laid the basis for the
rise of the BJP and its coalition government. The Congress has not learnt
lessons from the past. The Congress advocates economic policies which
are not different from the BJP. The Congress-run state governments such
as the UDF government in Kerala are pursuing policies which promote
privatisation and liberalisation. The people opposed to the oppressive BJP
rule expect a firm defence of secularism and democratic values, not a
vacillating and compromising role. They will rally to policies which provide
them with a stake in economic development and which are an alternative
to the BJP’s rightwing, pro-big business policies.


Nah! I'm not saying this. It is in the United Progressive Aliiance's chief support supplier CPI(M)'s election manifesto. Check it out.

How long it would take for the mark in the finger to disappear? or do they mark a different finger?
