Congress Asserts Democratic Stance Amid Party Disputes

Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh declared Congress as the only democratic party in India, citing differing views among members like Anand Sharma and Kamal Nath. While Sharma praised India's handling of the West Asia crisis, Nath critiqued government distribution strategies amidst claims of LPG shortages.

Jairam Ramesh, a former Union minister, has proclaimed that the Congress is the sole democratic political organization in India. This assertion comes amid queries about party members Anand Sharma and Kamal Nath's divergent opinions on current issues.

Anand Sharma commended the BJP-led central government's handling of the West Asia crisis, describing it as 'mature and skilful,' and helping India steer clear of 'potential minefields.' His comments were seen as a departure from the typical Congress line.

Meanwhile, Kamal Nath highlighted the lack of adequate government arrangements for domestic LPG distribution, despite the BJP-led NDA's insistence that there's no shortage. Nath argued that while sufficient gas exists, inadequate distribution has created public distress, revealing governmental mismanagement.
