- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The books are all quite old (all published before this millennium). Reopen if you have newer reliable sources that support the same claim. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Colour of the party
editThere is no proof of any official colour of the party, the customary colour have been sky blue. Many parties in India uses saffron, white and green (from Indian tricolour flag) as their colours. Every national party in India uses a single colour only.
@Zendrago X: is wrongfully adding the colours of the party in the infobox. I asked them to provide any reference for their claim, but they did not do so and just kept undoing my edits. 19 May, 25 May, 29 May, 13 July
The wrong colours were added on 6 May by @German2000: in this edit. Only two months have passed since the new colours were added, before that the blue colour was there for years.
Until consensus is reached the version of the article (mainy of the colours) which was before 6 May should be published. Bairagi Ram (talk) 16:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Pls read WP:FORUM, where is source mentioning that there is not official colour of the party? Please read this The Indian national colours of the Indian flag serve as the official visual identification of the Indian National Congress throughout it's history, only until recently has the party started to be using alternative customary colours [1]. Here are the some sources [2]. They used the Swaraj Flag and became the symbol of India's demand for Self-rule led by the Indian National Congress before independence, it was their official flag. They used tricolour as their official colour. The current blue colour is being used just recently, some years back it was aqua blue here in infobox. Also please read this [3] and [4] ZenDragoX (User) | (Contact) 12:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Centre to centre-left
editBringing this up here as there is a note requesting it in the article. There are multiple reliable sources that call the party centre-left. Therefore, I think the infobox should read "Centre to centre-left" in the political position section. Here are some reliable sources that call the party centre-left:
