Congress is left wing or atleast left-leaning now in its political position[edit]

Congress has been Left-wing[1][2] for a while under the new leadership. Also @Gundaraaj stop removing Socialism[3] from ideology. Witchilich (talk) 13:04, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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]

Congress ideology[edit]

Congress is a Big tent party with many factions. Big tent, Secularism and Civic nationalism are core ideology of Congress. It cannot fully consider it a liberal party. There are conservative figures like Vallabhbhai Patel. So, remove Liberalism (India). Different leaders follow different economic policies. Nehru followed a socialist or democratic socialist economic policies. Manmohan Singh and PV Narasima Rao followed Economic liberal economic policies. So, remove Social democracy. It's not a Centre-left party it's a Centrist or Big Tent partyVallabhbhai Patelngress. Imran Rashid Khan (talk) 17:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Democratic Party (United States) here no fixed ideology or political position is given. Imran Rashid Khan (talk) 17:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The party has undergone several changes since independence. Yes, we can add a section within the Ideological section detailing the significant changes the party has undergone so far with respect to Ideology. Please let us know if this sounds convincing. Thanks. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 13:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
