The problem with Congress (I) is

most of its members are "loyal" to the Gandhi family and not to the party, or the country. Yesterday I was watching Arjun Singh’s (he is the HRD minister in the current cabinet) statement on TV where he said that back in 1960 or something he had pledged his loyalty to Jawaharlal Nehru and his family, the scion of the current Congress party, and the illustrious architect of most the economic woes India faces today.
What’s this business of being "loyal to the family"? Does he mean even if some Nehru-Gandhi family-member turns out to be a traitor, or joins the underworld, he will remain loyal to that person? If this is the psychology of an average congressman, then we can easily deduct what sort of people rule the country and formulate policies that define our lives.
For congressmen, it seems India is still ruled by a dynasty, and not by a democracy.
