Lifetime Achievements



An article points out the INC recent list of its achievements through history including much that was history of achievements of Indian people, or events, that had little to credit the INC with except its simultaneous existence.

Reminds one of the story of the father giving a sound verbal lashing to son for low grades -"look at this, shame! When I was your age, Tagore got nobel prize!"

But also, one is reminded of the time Ms Sushama Swaraj responded to a speech by Ms Gandhi sometime during the decade of UPA rule when the latter described the UPA rule as the best in history of independent India.  Ms Sushama Swaraj incredulously asked who Ms Gandhi was competing with, was she declaring her rule better than thst of her mother in law, her husband and his grandfather the first PM of India, Jawaharlal Nehru? She asked if Ms Gandhi had forgotten or not known that about six decades out of seven post independence of India, it had been her party that ruled, of which most of the years it was the family she, Ms Gandhi, had married into that ruled. She then proceeded to ask just who Ms Gandhi was competing with, her grandfather in law, her mother in law, or her husband, in declaring her own rule the best.
