DISCLAIMER

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS PARTY BLOG AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE PARTY OR OF ORGANISATIONS THAT EMPLOY THE BLOGGERS. OPINIONS EXPRESSED HERE ARE THOSE OF INDIVIDUAL BLOGGERS AND CONTRIBUTORS ONLY AND ARE THEIR PERSONAL OPINIONS AND VIEWS AND ARE NOT RATIFIED BY THE CONGRESS PARTY, UNLESS EXPLICITLY STATED.
What This Blog Does

We've heard the resounding verdict from the people of India and now it's time to look more closely at what the verdict was in favour of. What does the Congress party stand for and what does it aspire toward? Who better to delve into policy and politics than our own "unofficial" insiders! Congress loyalists (and analysts) Rajeev Gowda and Sanjay Jha are right on the job, bringing you their uncensored views and measured opinions.

* No foul language, hate mongering or personal attacks.
* If you're being critical, remember that you can make your point politely, using fact and example instead of hate-speech.
