    Good, Rahul really walks his talk, has given truckloads of food and PPE to the people of Amethi despite the fact that they had rejected him which manifests his large heart.

    Good to see congress is taking the responsibilities and acting like the govt. As a matter of fact the govt should have taken these initiatives and worked to eleviate needy ones challenges and rescue them. After all what is the worth of big talks with big promises but finally ask people to help?!!?!?!?!?....

    No changes. MMS himself is a virtual leader, The leader that does not exist. This is the same group that was rejected nationwide not too long ago that had eventually Pappu running to Wayanad Kerala to contest and win ONLY on muslim votes.

    Dare to fight elections without EVMs instead of stealing power from back door????. No restrictions on anyone contesting elections anywhere in India. Why Modi contested in Varanasi apart from his Gujarat constituency??? Is it for Hindu majority votes????.... BTW, people of Kerala are Indians too so no communal mindset. People from all faith voted him. Do you dare to contest from Kerala????...

    Congress appreciates wisdom from experienced and knowledgable veterans unlike BJP who dumps them. We don't need advice from you to take congress to next level by Robert you see that your rapist and murderer ministers behave and restore party's honour and achieve some class in the society.
