The Congress party in India has a long and storied history, dating back to its formation in 1885. Originally established as a platform for Indian leaders to voice their grievances against British colonial rule, the party eventually played a crucial role in the country's independence movement. Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, the Congress party became synonymous with the fight for freedom and social justice.

The 1971 Lok Sabha elections marked a split in the Congress party, leading to Indira Gandhi's victory and Bangladesh's liberation. This pivotal moment not only reshaped the party but also had far-reaching implications for the region. Indira Gandhi's tenure as Prime Minister was marked by both significant achievements and controversies, highlighting the complexities within the Congress party.

Former Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam on Thursday said that his expulsion from the party was orchestrated shortly after he submitted his resignation. This incident underscores the internal struggles and power dynamics that have plagued the Congress party in recent years. Infighting and factionalism have weakened the party's unity and ability to effectively challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

A coalition led by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party could win nearly three-fourths of the parliamentary seats in elections, signaling a shift in the political landscape. The Congress party, once a dominant force in Indian politics, now faces stiff competition from the BJP and other regional parties. This changing dynamic underscores the need for the Congress party to adapt and evolve in order to remain relevant.

The BJP on Wednesday accused Haryana Congress leader Randeep Surjewala of making 'vile, sexist' remarks against its MP Hema Malini, further fueling tensions between the two parties. This incident reflects the ongoing political polarization in India and the escalating rhetoric between rival factions. The Congress party must navigate these challenges carefully to regain public trust and support.

The Indian-American members of the US Congress have cited an 'alarming increase' in incidents of vandalism at Hindu temples, drawing attention to issues of religious freedom and tolerance. The Congress party, as a leading political entity in India, must address these concerns and promote inclusivity and harmony among diverse communities.

Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala has been under scrutiny for his alleged 'derogatory' remarks on BJP MP from Mathura Hema Malini, highlighting the need for responsible and respectful political discourse. The Congress party must uphold ethical standards and maintain a dignified public image to appeal to voters and stakeholders.
