How party resolved its saffron dilemma
The Free Press Journal|January 16, 2025
The Congress Party, after five decades of politicking in a bungalow on Akbar Road, has shifted its headquarters.

How party resolved its saffron dilemma

But not to any nondescript address. Rather, it has set up shop in a glittering new building on Kotla Marg, a mere stone's throw from its arch-foe BJP's headquarters at 6 Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg. Naturally, this has caused a brouhaha.

First, let's talk about the address. The Congress, acutely aware of nuances of political messaging, decided it couldn't possibly have its main entrance on Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg—named after the RSS ideologue and Hindutva icon. That would be like a Marxist group holding a rally at the headquarters of McDonald's.

Instead, they boldly declared, "No, thank you," to the BJP and snuck around the corner to Kotla Marg. The Kotla Road back entrance is now the main gate, a location not just symbolically significant but also a safe distance from the BJP's ideological heartland.
