The Congress Leader and HRD minister Arjun Singh, once again has demonstrated that sycophancy is deep down within the congress party. The congress leaders are not ashamed of worshiping Nehru/Gandhi family, who are no more than common citizens of the country.
India is a democratic country and there is no place of king/queen worship but the congress leaders continue to pledge their loyalty to person and not the country. The big question is how come we inherited this sycophancy? In my mind, the Nehru/Gandhi family has always treated India as their personal property and the followers who have supported that cause, has always been rewarded. Reward reinforces behaviour and if that reinforcement has been there for more than 60 years, it is bound to have deeply ingrained in the psyche.
Having said that, India has come a long way since Independence and have jolted many a misconceived faith on the way, but how are the likes of Arjun Singh still in the power and leadership position? My assessment is that the people of our country need to wake up and really stop electing such unqualified people into the leadership body of the country. These sycophants do not even know the simple fact that “loyalty to the country” is the ONLY thing duty each citizen has to abide by, that’s it!

See my comments in TOI
Read the below except from the Times of India and feel how shameful it is to have leaders like Arjun Singh in the country.
In the statement, he sought to build bridges with the leadership by saying: "When I met Pandit Jawaharlal Nehruji in March 1960 I pledged my total loyalty to him and his fami ly. This was the commitment, which is an article of faith with me.
"For the past 48 years of my life, I have scrupulously adhered to it. I shall also do everything to maintain the loyalty and commitment to the remaining members of the family till I live," he said.
At the book release function where he did not take the name of Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, in this statement too he spoke of the "remaining members of the family".
