Congress receptive to different views

Congress believes that different views from whatever person, party or organization ought to be given due attention.  They are valuable inputs which help in analyzing and weighing value of each view and thereby helping in arriving at broad consensus.  Congress party does the same within the party also. For example there could have be a difference of opinion between the cabinet members on the fact whether Prime Minister should be included in the ambit of the Lokpal Bill.  But cabinet decision is collective decision and what matters in the country is the decision and not the views of the cabinet.  Media sometimes report surmises and conjectures which is not the final decision. Yes, Prime Minister offered himself to be put in the ambit of the Lokpal Bill because he believes fully in the parliamentary democracy - the heart and soul of which is the collective decision making of the cabinet and therefore, the Prime Minister defers to the decision of the cabinet. Thus for Congress views and opinions may be different but final decision is always one.

Congress govt. periodically does self performance appraisals and auditing

It is a matter of satisfaction that Congress party has been in the service of the people over 125 years. It has been a political force to be reckoned with, which has unleashed the potential power of our people to develop and built our society into a powerful, industrially strong and technologically advanced country in the world. If Congress party has been the preferred party over several decades for most of time after independence, it is because we know the rules of governance. Congress party and the government has consciously and periodically undertaken self performance appraisals and audit of its activities. Each such exercise is productive in the sense that it gives the party and the government a valuable opportunity to once again overview its policies and implementations and thereby make necessary mid course changes wherever required. The Congress party and the government is never shy of admitting its shortcomings. That is the reason why government reshuffle are undertaken to ease out non performing ministers and to induct potential performers.

Because as somebody who is involved in politics, the biggest problem in this country is; the all good intentions the governments have, don’t reach to people.

Congress : BJP blow insignificant incident out of proportion

BJP is in the habit of blowing insignificant incidents out of proportion and thereby distorting the facts to mislead the people said Congress. About bugging in North Block office Congress party has clarified that BJP party is in grave danger of complete deterioration, after not just their defeat in the Lok Sabha polls but in the recently concluded assembly elections also where they won only five sets. Now there is a total internal rebellion among their senior leaders and is in such a state of desperation that they are clutching on straws to make allegations against the government added Congress. The bugging referred to a newspaper report about which Hon’ble Finance Minister has already clarified. The Hon’ble Finance Minister said that the IB has looked into it and there is nothing in it and called all other allegations, which were made in this regard, as bogus. Certainly such allegations were completely an attempt by the BJP to divert attention from their own internal deterioration and from their internal rebellion within their own ranks. The BJP should try to raise constructive issues and refrain from trying to divert the attention of the people.

Congress party is serious about corruption and has taken strong action against corruption. CBI investigation has been set in motion. Criminal proceedings have been initiated against defaulters no matter how high or strong they were. It is unfortunate that BJP leaders are deliberately spreading rumors that they have information about on 2G spectrum. In case they really have information they are free to present the same before JPC which is inquiring into the matter instead of telling the media about it to gain cheap publicity.

BJP leaders show utter disregard and lack of knowledge: Congress

BJP and its leaders at times seem to go berserk discarding valuable parliamentary practices. Recently the Joint Parliamentary Committee – an entity which is supposed to be a Judge, an evaluator and an adjudicator also of similar issues including telecom issues gave advance findings, opinions, conclusions and views in press conferences. Vituperative language was used by Yashwant Sinha, member of JPC, against the Home Minister and the then Finance Minister. Sinha’s utterances reflected utter disregard and lack of knowledge. One wonders whether he deserves to be a senior leader and a member of the JPC which is a matter of honour and prestige and then take sides barely before the proceeding started. What was the basis and propriety for giving advance findings and conclusion? There could be none other than to malign others and also thereby bring down prestige of JPC. It was an absolutely absurd allegation made by a biased mind. It is absolutely murder of norms, rules, practices.
