    Leaders and politicians from congress party to other is expected. No party, including congress is that saintly that each member of it is walking divinity. Congress however, is a party which has fought for freedom, near perfected idealogy where nation can progress with equal rights and dignity, it has provided necessary leadership and it has taken the country from ranked near poorest status to one among the top countries in the world. This idealogy and the leadership is what BJP is all against, even prior to independence in its jan sangh form, where it aligned with british to supress people and in its current form, where now has its hands on power wheels. 2024 remarkably will be a pointer to where country will be headed next. Down trend with BJP, or try recover from wrong policies of BJP. Simple choice for people, when they go to vote.
