An endless tale of Broken Promises
The Indian National Congress is synonymous with broken promises and poor governance. Before every state and national election, the party presents its promises and plans before the people, only to deceive them later, if they form the government. When they promise a loan waiver, they complain about a lack of funds. The sustainability of every freebie programme they introduce is uncertain, as evident in the states they are currently governing. Fulfilling the new infrastructure needs is a distant dream in the Congress regime, given the ongoing projects are pushed to the backburner indefinitely, resulting in inconvenience for the people.
The one constant about the Congress is their ability to come up with excuses, in case they fail to deliver on their promises. The easiest route to take is to blame the Centre, as evident in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh today. Unable to match the promises with the state’s fiscal health, the Congress attributes its broken promises to the work of the previous regimes, as seen in Telangana.
In the states where they were in power, the standard formula is to make lofty promises before the election, only to forget them later on. In Rajasthan, the Congress healthcare programme was sold to the people with much fanfare, only to leave them disappointed with the implementation.
The broken promises are also a testament to the leadership of the Congress that is without accountability, credibility, or believability. After the elections of 2024, several voters of the Congress queued up before party offices, carrying the fake guarantee cards that promised them Rs. 1,00,000.
Congress has an elaborate history of such broken promises. From Garibi Hatao in the 1970s to the promise of an unemployment allowance in 2024, and from overturning the Supreme Court verdict Shah Bano case in 1985 to promising minorities the first right to India’s resources in 2006, Congress has mastered the art of taking the Indian electorate for granted and for a ride.
