Can we have more on the party's platform, is it socialist/SD/neo-lib, secular, nationalist?

I suppose it is better to move this page to Indian National Congress -Paddu. ...as 'Congress Party' itself may need a diambiguation page.

Since today's Congress (or Congress(I)) was infact formed after separation from the original INC, is it right to put details about that party here. Also, was it ever known as the INC after that? So far as I am aware, they are not called INC at all and INC is certainly not a short-form for Congress(I) (Congress-Indira).

[edit] Volker not so important

Volker report is not such an important event in the life of the Congress party. There are many other probes such as Bofors scandal and many more corruption scandals that should be discussed. Volker is too minor to be dicussed here. Its important for Natwar Singh, not for the Congress party so much.

[edit] Allan Octavian Hume

It says that Hume was an Englishman. Is this the case? I thought he was Scottish. will investigate and change if so (and if I remember to do so). Big Jim Fae Scotland

He was Scottish, from Glasgow.

The Dangerous Plot by NDA

The NDA want to start teasing the NPA government and it's intentions are clear that is to prevent nation's growth under NPA. I request the congress party/NPA to start accounting their activities. Whenever they do any domenstation with wrong intentions, NPA should put the nation's loss in the form of value and make the data available to the people of India.

Let the people of India decided who is for what??

I am sure this meassure will definately chage their attitute towords NPA and government.

It's my suggestion.

[edit] "Decline"

Please refrain from re-adding this as it is clearly OR. While there is no question that some of the events mentioned have occurred, to summarise a thirty-year process of political change in terms of the 'decline' of one party is OR and almost certainly POV.
