The First Congress of the Indian National Congress was held at Bombay on 3rd August 1885. Although it was only a moderate organisation seeking some concessions from the British Government at that time, gradually it grew in to a mighty movement of the people for achieving Independence from the British rulers. And we got Independence on 15th August 1947.
After Independence, the Congress changed. Its priorities have changed. Instead of caring for the ‘daridra narayanas’, it is now caring for the MNCs and big business. It is submerged in huge corruption cases.
Will the Indian National Congress be able to have an introspection of what has happened to it? How is it that the high traditions and sacrifices upheld by the leaders of the Independence struggle have been discarded and has fallen to the corruptions and moral depredations?
