Kiren Rijiju Takes Aim At Congress: 1963 Merger, 1969 Split & ‘congress Legacy’ | Congress News

Union Minister Kiran Rijiju criticizes the Congress party, highlighting its historical actions, including the 1963 merger with the Praja Socialist Party and the 1969 syndicate split. He recalls how Congress manipulated alliances and leadership, undermining its own legacy. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has criticised the Congress party by revisiting episodes from its political history, including developments involving the socialist movement in the 1960s and the major Congress split of 1969. Rijiju has used these historical episodes to question Congress’ claims about its political legacy, alliances and internal leadership.The 1969 Congress split followed a major confrontation between Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the party’s powerful “Syndicate” leadership. The immediate political trigger was the 1969 presidential election, in which the Syndicate backed N. Sanjeeva Reddy as the official Congress candidate while Indira Gandhi supported V. V. Giri’s candidature and called for a “conscience vote.” The resulting contest ultimately formalised the division between Congress (Organisation) and Indira Gandhi’s Congress (Requisitionists). n18oc_indian18oc_breaking-news
