Our land cherishes truth and values. We love people speaking the truth from their hearts. But the near-absence of such qualities in our political leaders is strange. Instead, they spread lies to project, protect their image, and hurt others. India should worry about its leaders.

The lies, propaganda about Congress, Rahul are obvious. Most people are aware of the truth; some have doubts, some could infer, discern. But, many of them do not support Congress, as its leaders do not inspire confidence in projecting and spreading the truth effectively.

The people want the truth and justice to prevail. The strength of Congress is its commitment to truth, values and principles. It has the experience and expertise to deliver them. Still, it fails to speak the truth loudly, spread and percolate it down to people in every way possible.

Some cadres and supporters of Congress may say that they are active and productive in social media. But it is not effective in correcting the perceptions of ordinary people. Further, they can not overcome the near-total spread of lies and propaganda by other media.

They are to use every avenue, platform to spread the truth; counter the lies, in addition to activities on social media. Congress leaders should lead, but also in effect, live and breathe truth. But most of them are reluctant, mumble and stumble to speak out their mind honestly.

Some of these Congress leaders may feel uncomfortable because of their past. But they are defending the Congress party, not themselves as individuals. Whatever may be the truth, Congress accepts and marches ahead. It has history and truth in its support. Why do leaders doubt it?

Courage and willpower to open out one’s heart and mind do not come when one is opportunistic and selfish in their actions. They cannot expect Congress, Rahul to defend and spread the truth and counter the lies while their leaders indulge in fighting for perks and berths.

How many Congress leaders talk honestly to the people about all issues. If they are allergic to speak about Modi, there are countless other issues. For that matter, how many of them appreciate Rahul openly. They should get habituated to talk truth without fear and inhibitions.

It should come out of belief and conviction among Congress leaders. They do not use liberal values and freedom of speech to improve thought processes; to encourage constructive discussions within Congress. Instead, they focussed on promoting themselves, not Congress.

The quality of political leaders has degenerated a lot. It got corrupted due to the deterioration of values, principles in our political system over many decades. Congress, Rahul is the only hope we have, at present, to reestablish truth and political values in our country.
