Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Congress is a secular party whose social democratic platform is generally considered to be on the centre-left of Indian politics.[9][21]Congress' social policy is based upon the Gandhian principle of Sarvodaya—the lifting up of all sections of society—which involves the improvement of the lives of economically underprivileged and socially marginalised people.[22][23] The party primarily endorses social democracy—seeking to balance individual liberty and social justice, welfareand secularism. Its constitution states democratic socialism to be its ideal.[24]
After India's independence in 1947, Congress formed the central government of India, and many regional state governments.[25]Congress became India's dominant political party; As of 2019, in the 17 general elections since independence, it has won an outright majority on seven occasions and has led the ruling coalition a further three times, heading the central government for more than 54 years. There have been six Congress Prime Ministers, the first being Jawaharlal Nehru(1947–1964), and the most recent Manmohan Singh (2004–2014). Although it did not fare well in the last two general elections in India in 2014 and 2019 , it remains one of two major, nationwide, political parties in India, along with the right-wing, Hindu nationalistBharatiya Janata Party (BJP).[e][26] In the 2014 general election, Congress had its poorest post-independence general election performance, winning only 44 seats of the 543-member Lok Sabha.
