Secular Ideals Essential Both In Governance And Philosophy

USPA NEWS - Mere good governance is insufficient if the underlying philosophy is flawed. It is crucial for the philosophy to be steadfast, coupled with progressive governance.

Telugu Desham Party is represented by NTR and Chandrababu, Janasena is synonymous with Pawan Kalyan, and YSRCP is associated with Jagan Mohan Reddy. However, Congress does not embody Sharmila; instead, it signifies a secular system, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds. Congress does not belong to any specific individual but is a collective party with which everyone can associate themselves. Many individuals in both national and regional political parties across the country are descendants of the Congress party.

Pay attention to Sharmila's current role; she is the spokesperson for the Independent India Sanatana Congress Party. Resist becoming disheartened by her present circumstances and instead, focus on her advocacy for the party.

While the voice may belong to her, the message aligns with the Congress. The slogan might be hers, but the policy is rooted in Congress. The post may be occupied by her, but the governance is carried out by the Congress. It is essential to delve into our comprehension to grasp the underlying dynamics. Overcoming the TDP and YSRCP regimes poses a challenge. Janasena, emerging as a significant contender, cannot be disregarded. However, TDP, YSRCP, and Janasena are, in various capacities, collaborating with or connected to the BJP.

The people of Andhra Pradesh have long been aware of this information. Among the political parties, Congress stands out as the one firmly designating BJP as its primary adversary. Sharmila echoes this sentiment in her vocalization, highlighting a distinct stance that I appreciate both in the Congress and in Sharmila, who effectively amplifies the voice of the party. It has been reported that in her political address, Sharmila did not overlook TDP, BJP, and YSRCP.

Congress and Left parties in Andhra Pradesh distinguish themselves from the existing political entities, some of which are entangled, both internally and externally. This development is reassuring and brings relief to citizens aligned with the principles of a secular constitutional ideology in Andhra Pradesh.

Mere good governance is insufficient if the underlying philosophy is flawed. It is crucial for the philosophy to be steadfast, coupled with progressive governance. Only parties with a strong philosophical foundation and a commitment to progressive governance can establish a robust groundwork for the future of India.

The Prime Minister of India discussed the visionary concept of Ramarajyam but did not underscore the constitution, a document written, accepted, and supported by the sovereign people of this nation. This provides a clear indication of the direction in which religious parties are steering the country. To prevent the 'constitution' from being marginalized in the country and to avoid the division of people based on languages, religions, and castes, the nation requires political parties that champion the values of the Constitution, humanity, equality, fraternity, and a universal positive outlook.
