Congress has been the best National party for our (democratic) India. It does not believe in Sectarian / caste / religious partisan role in general (there may be some exceptions). What was the contribution of the Jan Sanghis & predecessors of BJP in the freedom struggle. What have their so called nationalist icons done for the betterment of the society & nation (besides killing those who sacrificed everything to achieve freedom). Congress can further appeal to the people if it follows the foll : 1. Never organise or support any bandhs for whatever reasons (People are already highly fed-up with these so called political show of rowdyism / goondism by BJP and its allies, who miss no opportunity to flex its muscles by calling for bandhs on petty issues). Everybody knows that it is the open show of strength of local goonda and anti-social elements who are on the forefront during such events. 2. Never show your money power by bursting crackers, burning effigies on public roads, taking out rallies to show your pleasure or anger, causing the public great inconvenience. Instead to show their pleasure, thay can distribute as much as they wish sweets / ration to Orphanages/destitute homes/Old age shelters etc. 3. Start a campaign to weed out corruption from public offices, with more vigilance and public awareness and support. 4. Be the first and initiate a Bill in Parliament to reform the age old Police set-up and functioning, freeing it from the politicians' interference.
