The Congress party, often claiming to be the torchbearer of democracy and fairness, has once again been exposed for its deep-rooted culture of sycophancy, favoritism, and nepotism. The latest revelations by BJP leader and former Congress spokesperson Professor Gourav Vallabh have sent shockwaves through political circles, highlighting the degrading standards of internal politics within the grand old party. Gaurav Vallabh, in an explosive interview with journalist Aadesh Rawal, accused Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge of rewarding loyalty in the most bizarre manner. According to Gaurav Vallabh, a Congress leader was granted a Rajya Sabha seat twice, not because of merit, knowledge, or political acumen, but simply because he knew where to procure high-quality meat for Kharge. This shocking claim further cements the notion that Congress has abandoned competence and integrity in favor of personal favors and sycophantic behavior.
Gaurav Vallabh: “Kharge Sahab likes Non Veg a lot. One man just carried Non Veg to Kharge Ji’s house regularly.
~ Now, he has become a Rajyasabha MP TWICE. This is criteria within Congress.”😂No wonder Rahul Gandhi says MERIT is FLAWED concept👏🏼pic.twitter.com/BbCye4CcGj

This revelation exposes the sorry state of affairs within Congress, where decisions on critical matters such as Rajya Sabha nominations are allegedly influenced by personal preferences and trivial exchanges rather than the party’s vision or commitment to public service. It is no surprise that Congress has been on a steady decline, losing ground across the country, as it prioritizes flatterers and personal aides over leaders with genuine political and administrative competence. Furthermore, Gaurav Vallabh pointed out that the Congress party thrives on ‘PA Culture,’ where sycophants and personal assistants wield undue influence in the decision-making process. The party, which claims to stand for democracy and inclusivity, has instead become a closed club where loyalty to senior leaders, rather than service to the people, determines one’s political future. Gaurav Vallabh’s own journey is a testament to this, as he faced backlash for merely supporting Kharge over Shashi Tharoor in the Congress Presidential elections. Shashi Tharoor reportedly stopped speaking to him after that incident, further proving that dissent and independent thinking have no place in the Congress ecosystem.The Congress party’s downfall is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of a leadership that prioritizes personal allegiances over ideology, competence, and national interest. The party’s disconnect with the grassroots, obsession with sycophants, and blatant nepotism have alienated dedicated workers and leaders.
