Congress is a 125-year-old elderly womanBy: N.V.SANKARAN | Tuesday , 14 Apr '09 10:34:49 AM Reply | Forward I don't understand why people are reading too much into a fairly innocuous statement. What Modi meant was that Congress has become a 125 year old lady and therefore should retire from active politics and take rest, as any wise old lady would do. That was his perception. If the "old lady" wants to continue to work irrespective of her age, it would be her choice and nobody would prevent her.

Congress too old to walk at its ownBy: Ramesh | Friday , 10 Apr '09 19:07:33 PM Reply | Forward Mr.Modi's comments are absolutely true. We donot need old congress party which talks only about minority, but do nothing. Just to grab their votes, they do drama at the election time. We need strong and stable Hindustan. Only Mr.Modi can tackle terrorism in India. Firstly, we need to set aside family run political parties in India. One such party is congress and another regional party in Karnataka "Mr.Devegowda and Sons pvt Ltd". These two dirty political parties should be thrown out of Politics. This is infact a piece of advise to Third Front also. Mr.Deve gowda is dangerous than a poisonous snake. Remember, once he ditched Congress, and ditched BJP, this time he will do anything to make his son Prime Minister. These dirty politicians will do nothing than sleeping in Parliament. We donot need such politicians. We need people like Mr.Narendra Modi and Mr.Varun Gandhi to save Hindustan.

Oldest Party - CongressBy: Varinder | Friday , 10 Apr '09 16:55:27 PM Reply | Forward 125 years old congress got 140 seats in 2004, just 15 seat more than her age. 30 years young party BJP got 134 seats, means 104 seats more than the party's age. So message is loud and clear that who is going to win. Of course war of indecent words is not fair but it appears that Congress hears what suits it and it does not like to hear what Lalu, Raberi, Mayawati or Vaiko say? It seems Modi is like Gabber Singh giving sleepless nights to congress's Jai Ho.

Modi vs CongressBy: Vaid S C K | Friday , 10 Apr '09 15:47:27 PM Reply | Forward In fact, it is not much the age which has decayed the party. Congress party after the partition of India acted without national interest. Congress fearing backlash following division of India adopted policy of appeasement to minorities and playing divisive tactics in majority hindus. Modi is ,in fact, blaming congress for still pursuing the same agenda and is rightly cautioning the voters.

Religion-based head count in Army is irrelevantBy: kumaran | Friday , 10 Apr '09 15:22:42 PM Reply | Forward Latest in the series of controversies centred on the Congress party’s fixation with Muslim grievances is the data collection exercise involving the Indian Armed Forces. It is irrelevant and mischievous to mention about caste-based divisions in the Army during the British rule. Congress leaders not only divided the country politically but also militarily. The military officers and men of pre-independence India , belonging to all communities fought the WWII together under the British. Pakistan got a ready-made army at its birth. When Indian Muslims got Pakistan they also got a Muslim army carved out of the undivided Indian Army. This army produced Pakistani generals and officers who fought wars with India — the first full scale war being in 1965. This is history in living memory. The Congress party having divided and ruled the country for decades is continuing with its dangerous game and monstrous thinking of doing a head count for the Army now.

Congress is 125 years youngBy: Varinder | Friday , 10 Apr '09 15:16:53 PM Reply | Forward Ongress's frustartion on a simly of 125 years old woman is not digetive to congress party. Congress perhaps did not hear what Lalu, Raberi, or Vaiko has said. People of the nation knows what is IQ of Congress leaders who are unable to understand the simly which even a rickshaw puller can understand. Congress has no ssiues and trying to make a mountain of a mole hill.
