Congress ideology[edit]

Congress is a Big tent party with many factions. Big tent, Secularism and Civic nationalism are core ideology of Congress. It cannot fully consider it a liberal party. There are conservative figures like Vallabhbhai Patel. So, remove Liberalism (India). Different leaders follow different economic policies. Nehru followed a socialist or democratic socialist economic policies. Manmohan Singh and PV Narasima Rao followed Economic liberal economic policies. So, remove Social democracy. It's not a Centre-left party it's a Centrist or Big Tent partyVallabhbhai Patelngress. Imran Rashid Khan (talk) 17:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Democratic Party (United States) here no fixed ideology or political position is given. Imran Rashid Khan (talk) 17:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The party has undergone several changes since independence. Yes, we can add a section within the Ideological section detailing the significant changes the party has undergone so far with respect to Ideology. Please let us know if this sounds convincing. Thanks. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 13:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was founded in 1915 by Malviya as a conservative pressure group within the Congress. Much later in the 1930s, it became a distinct political organization. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 15:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colour of the party[edit]

There is no proof of any official colour of the party, the customary colour have been sky blue. Many parties in India uses saffron, white and green (from Indian tricolour flag) as their colours. Every national party in India uses a single colour only.
@Zendrago X: is wrongfully adding the colours of the party in the infobox. I asked them to provide any reference for their claim, but they did not do so and just kept undoing my edits. 19 May, 25 May, 29 May, 13 July
The wrong colours were added on 6 May by @German2000: in this edit. Only two months have passed since the new colours were added, before that the blue colour was there for years.
Until consensus is reached the version of the article (mainy of the colours) which was before 6 May should be published. Bairagi Ram (talk) 16:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pls read WP:FORUM, where is source mentioning that there is not official colour of the party? Please read this The Indian national colours of the Indian flag serve as the official visual identification of the Indian National Congress throughout it's history, only until recently has the party started to be using alternative customary colours [1]. Here are the some sources [2]. They used the Swaraj Flag and became the symbol of India's demand for Self-rule led by the Indian National Congress before independence, it was their official flag. They used tricolour as their official colour. The current blue colour is being used just recently, some years back it was aqua blue here in infobox. Also please read this [3] and [4] ZenDragoX (User) | (Contact) 12:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
