Rahul Gandhi addressed a program to woo tribal voters in Dahod. After meeting with the tribals, he had called a special meeting with the MLAs in a closed room. According to the India Today report, discussions were going on about Prashant Kishor becoming an election strategist for the Congress ahead of the Gujarat Assembly elections.
According to the report, many believe that it would have helped the Congress perform well. Congress leaders have reportedly asked for an election strategist who can devise a sound strategy at the ground level.
According to reports, during the meeting, party MLAs have reportedly asked Rahul Gandhi to organize more tours of Gujarat and hold more rallies and road shows. Apart from this, the party leadership has demanded that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also come to the state before the assembly elections. State Congress MLAs have demanded a strong face for the party in Gujarat. The MLAs have told Rahul that the party’s face should not get caught in any controversy and it should be accepted in every caste.
Apart from this, Gujarat Congress MLAs have demanded more opportunities for women MLAs. It was also agreed that there should be more women MLAs in the state. According to the report, the Congress MLA, who was present in the meeting on the condition of confidentiality, said that Rahul Gandhi has told the party workers, “No one should think that he is above the party.” Party is the first priority, not an individual.
