Congress (RaGa): A Legacy of Disappointment Since 2014

The Indian National Congress, once India's grand liberator and post-independence colossus, has devolved into a pathetic relic—utterly divorced from its people's aspirations and betraying every sacred tradition of principled leadership. Since its humiliating 2014 rout, ending a corrupt UPA reign riddled with mega-scams like 2G, coal, and Commonwealth Games, Congress has chosen self-sabotage over redemption, theatrics over statesmanship, and dynasty over democracy.[1][2] Voters, weary of this endless parade of failures, whisper the same damning question: "Congress ko kaise vote den?"—a verdict echoing from streets to statehouses, exposing a party that no longer speaks for Bharat.

Dynasty's Debacle

Rahul Gandhi's iron grip embodies Congress's fatal rot: a dynast masquerading as messiah, delivering only slogans like "Chowkidar chor hai" devoid of proof or policy. Groomed for glory yet fleeing responsibility post-2019's 52-seat fiasco, his Bharat Jodo Yatra peddled "love and unity" optics but yielded zero electoral magic—assembly thrashings in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh followed swiftly.[3][4] Priyanka's looming shadow promises more nepotism, not merit; this family fiefdom mocks the meritocracy Congress once preached, alienating youth who crave vision, not vassalage.[3]

Electoral Evisceration

Congress's ballot-box bloodbaths form an unbroken chain of incompetence. From 44 seats in 2014 to a measly 52 in 2019, even 2024's 99-seat "revival" leaves it a national non-entity, clinging to opposition status like a drowning man to driftwood.[5][6] State after state crumbles: Maharashtra 2014 wipeout, Delhi 2015 drubbing, Uttar Pradesh 2017 irrelevance, Haryana 2024 shock loss despite "polls." NYAY's 2019 mirage—₹72,000 giveaways sans funding blueprint—fooled no one, as voters rejected recycled desperation for BJP's proven delivery.[7]

Disruptive Demolition

Far from democratic torchbearer, Congress wages war on Parliament itself, shredding papers, stalling sessions on demonetization (2016) and farm bills (2020), and boycotting the new Parliament's inauguration with Rahul's "Dharamyudh" demagoguery.[3] This isn't opposition—it's obstruction, paralyzing progress while offering zero amendments or alternatives. The 2026 AI Impact Summit protest—shirtless goons screaming "AI means Anti-India"—crystallized the clown show: sabotaging India's tech triumph for cheap Modi-bashing, scorning jobs and innovation its own UPA digitized via Aadhaar.[8][9]

Institutional Insurrection

Congress assaults the pillars it once built: EVM smears post every loss, with Rahul's 2024 "match-fixing" rants and Manish Tewari's petitions peddling unproven paranoia, eroding electoral faith.[10][11] Judiciary branded "Modi judges," EC as enemy—hypocrisy peaks, as UPA-era media muzzling via Broadcasting Bills fades from their selective memory. RTI's architects now vandalize transparency, weaponizing courts only when verdicts sting.[11]

Alliance Anarchy

"Secular" solidarity? A sham. INDIA bloc's 2023 birth birthed bickering: seat-hoarding greed imploded it, Nitish Kumar's NDA flip exposed Congress as toxic baggage.[12] Bihar RJD pact despite Lalu's scams, Maharashtra Shiv Sena fling—opportunism over ideology, devouring allies like a political black hole. This parasitic playbook fails NREGA's consultative legacy, uniting none against anything.[12]

Economic Empty Promises

UPA's scam-soaked stagnation—4-5% GDP crawl, rupee rout, ₹52 lakh crore NPAs—haunts as Congress fear-mongers GST (its own 2011 idea) and demonetizes reforms.[1] Farm waivers in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh enriched elites, not edges; 2024 manifesto recycled UPA trash, dwarfed by PM-KISAN's precision. Youth job vows? UPA's 2 crore pales against BJP's 8 crore; Congress offers Luddite AI protests, not ladders up.[8]

Social Sham

Pioneers of affirmative action now peddle caste censuses sans blueprints, stalling women's bills in UPA-II only to poach BJP's Nari Shakti credit. Minority "outreach" reeks of appeasement, Waqf opposition alienating Hindus; environment? UPA's Vedanta nods forgotten amid greenwashing gripes. Every vow vaporizes: grand gestures, ghostly delivery, blame game finale.[3]

Congress's corpse twitches on dynastic life-support, blind to the people's roar for renewal. Ditch disruption, dynasty, denial—or fade forever into footnotes of failure. Bharat demands doers, not dynasts; Congress delivers dust.[3][13]

Congress Shirtless AI Protest Ignites Fury

Indian National Congress leaders slammed the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi as a chaotic PR stunt that sold out Indian data. Rahul Gandhi dubbed it disorganized, highlighting Chinese products and data deals, while Mallikarjun Kharge decried the lack of basics like food and water, embarrassing India on the world stage.Youth Congress escalated with a bold shirtless protest at Bharat Mandapam on February 19-20. Workers waved T-shirts blasting PM Modi, US trade deals, and "Epstein files," alleging data giveaways before police detained Bihar and UP leaders amid anti-Modi chants.
