For the last few days, the infobox of this article has been changed back and forth often enough. Per the article note, we should gain consensus on the edits before making a change in the ideology section.
ਰਾਜ ਪਾਲ, please consider reverting your addition of Third way and only add it once we have consensus.
Gundaraaj, in your revert, you removed Social democracy from the infobox. Can you show where the discussion and consensus for removing it is?
Thanks!
I will try to take a pass on the article, see if I can locate the previous consensus for all the points listed in ideology. Else it might be good to do a general poll for all the ideologies that should be listed Soni (talk) 07:25, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that person with Punjabi name. But according to NCERT books INC is economically liberal. We must not consider Nehru or Indira's era Gundaraaj (talk) 07:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not consensus. You started the discussion just a few days back, and nobody has replied yet. There's clearly many active editors here, that's why the section is getting changed so often. At the very least you should wait for a few more days to see other opinions before declaring WP:SILENT.
As for sources, NCERT books are not going to be considered very reliable sources. They are educational books, and we might be better off looking for books or papers written by historians or similar quality sources. Soni (talk) 07:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Congress is left wing or atleast left-leaning now in its political position[edit]
^Kandasamy, Meena (30 May 2024). "The Radical Rahul Gandhi Nobody Expected". The Wire (India). He is filling the vacuum that India's had for an immensely long period of time — a charismatic national leader on the left who talks about the struggles of the working class, the dispossessed, the marginalised, the women, the unemployed youth. This boisterously radical version of RaGa – which some of his critics have branded a repeat of V.P. Singh — both reflects and paves the way for a broader turn to the left in the depths of society.
Total seats won by INC in 2024 election is 99 however 101 is showing there hence request you to replace with correct number, please refer the ECI url embeded below to validate the election result:
It is old information, 2 independents joined INC which making its tally 101. [1]ZenDragoX(User) | (Contact) 14:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An independent cannot join a political party. They can extend support. But extension of support cannot be counted towards party seat total.
So the count of seats for Congress in 2024 Loksabha elections needs to be reduced on this page back from 101 to 99. The previous update is misinformed and hence erroneous. Mulaadhaar (talk) 18:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
