from ur post itself it is clear most of the foundations for india's growth were laid by congress. nehru founded the schientific instritutions of the country and public sector enterprises, rajiv gandhi took india to next level by telecom revolution and narsimha rao did economic liberalisation...count on only the congress to do path-breaking politics and econmics...now manmohan singh govt is taking it to next level through possible nuke deal and india;s entry into security council.
