Congress can justifiably argue that it helped build on the economic structures of Nehru’s day while liberating them from excessive restrictions. But it remains committed to an inclusive idea of development, based on social justice and greater opportunity for India’s deprived and marginalized – an idea that is not always easily marketable to a youthful electorate that wants change here and now.
国大党可以理直气壮地反驳，是它帮助印度建立了尼赫鲁时代的经济结构，同时将他们解放出过度限制的掣肘。但国大党仍然坚持基于社会正义和为印度脆弱和边缘群体带来更多机会的包容性发展思维——对于年轻选民希望看到重大变化的时候，这一思维吸引力有限。
