So apparently most of the pro-Modi commentators are going with the narrative of - Congress also did it, so its ok.

No its not ok. Congress is not the one in power and frankly I don't give two hoots about its corruptions when it was in power. BJP and Modi are the ones in power and they have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

And you all claim it's only going to get worse...unless what? Unless Congress is elected back to majority?

That's a bold assertion considering the history of corruption and spying under the Congress Dynasty.

Thats your assertion. For some reason BJP supporters cannot see beyond Congress and Nehru.

I myself will be happy if any good party with a more pro-democracy and progressive views takes up the mantle. Be it a new party, a regional party which has gone national or even a revitalized congress.

@rishav_sharan Unfortunately, a party like the one you describe is yet to emerge. This is a not a realistic option.

Politics almost always is a choice between bad and worse. Until a better third option emerges or the (dynastic, corrupt & inept) Congress changes its leadership / policies (of which there are no indications), BJP is a far less worse choice.

You're saying there's no dynasties in BJP? Anurag Thakur, Poonam Mahahjan, Pankaja Munde, Kiran Rijju, Pankaj Singh, Vasundhar Raje, Varun gandhi all these and many more are direct descendants of former BJP leaders.

No matter which party you pick in India, there is political dynasty. Personally I don’t see that as a problem if collective experience benefits the country.

With congress, the problem is much deeper. You have one family at the helm of affairs that has practically “zero” collective experience running any kind of ministry or a state or whatever in last 30 years (since Rajeev Gandhi died in 1991).

All they have is brand “Gandhi” using which they want to use to control the country but not being directly accountable for it.

FYI, considering your voluntary ignorance, BJP has bigger, broader and older dynasties than any other party in the whole country.

Dude, congress could not have done it at this scale. Imagine hacking Modi's phone in 2013-14 and it leaks. People would have roasted MMS alive
