Why Congress deserves the credit for Slumdog Millionaire

Before anything else, heartiest congratulations to the entire team involved with Slumdog Millionaire for it's Oscar success.

Congress Spokesman for once said the right thing. The entire success of Slumdog Millionaire has to be credited to Congress. Come on, let's face it. Congress has ruled India (and not governed) for most of the years after Independence. And if we still see slums, poverty, depair around, it obviously Congress' 'conducive' growth policies. And not to forget 'inclusive' politics. They have ensured that poverty and slums grow and include people from each community and region. The only people they never included in this 'conducive' growth has been their leaders and their kins. So much for fair play!

The choice to be made now is - Another Oscar Congress style or real growth and development?
