The rot started right with Indira Gandhi, and really, has seeped into the culture of the party which continues to extol her supposed virtues, actively suppressing any discussion of her numerous assaults on the institutions necessary for the functioning of a democracy, and quietly ignoring her infamous assault on the Constitution. The Congress continues to be as corrupt as ever. It has only improved its media savviness and changed some faces here and there. That's about it.
