> India did very well under Congress before his election.
I was very young when I saw (and still remember) Congress party goons setting fire to Sikh homes in New Delhi. I heard stories of how congress party workers in Delhi butchered countless Sikhs. Please note that I am not defending Modi in any way and I despise right wing fascism everywhere.
- sremani 5y agoThe Anti-Sikh riots were not the only thing. The perpetrators of Anti-Sikh riots in 1984 became central ministers in the subsequent Congress cabinets. There are few redeeming things about Congress rule, but to call it very well run government is an exaggeration.

Congress have those two party tickets and backed them in elections. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bholanath_and_Devendra_Pandey https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bholanath_and_Devendra_Pande... I also dislike that we have to constantly add "we are not defending modi". It comes from their belief that the only ones who criticize Congress are hindutva nationalists bigots. As if congress did nothing to receive the ire of the people.
