Gujarat Congress headquarter witnessed shameful scene on Friday evening when one group of local Congress workers thrashed a person of another group openly and aggressively.

No TV camera of press photographer was present at the time of incident, however one senior journalist was present there.

There is serious infighting going among different Congress leaders in Ahmedabad.

One of the latest tussle is between the workers of Dipak Babaria and Himmatsingh.

Babaria was Congress candidate from Ahmedabad Lok Sabha constituency in last election, while Himmatsinh is former Mayor of Ahmedabad.

According to one witness who saw the hand to hand fight at Congress headquarter on Friday, it was Dipak Babaria’s supporters who thrashed Himmatsinh’s supporter at party headquarter.

While Himmatsinh supporters were few in number, Babaria’s supporters were present there in comfortable number to settle the score.

Meanwhile sources told DeshGujarat that former Deputy Chief Minister Narhari Amin has organized a meeting at his farm house on 5 January with agenda of uniting various groups of Gujarat Congress with goal to defeat BJP in 2012 assembly election.

In another development, some second-line Congress workers have called a meeting at city’s Mahendi Navaz Jung hall in Paldi on 2 January demanding resignation of five senior Congress leaders in Gujarat who according to them are responsible for poor performance of party in Gujarat due to their ambition to become the Chief Minister of the state. This list includes Shankarsinh Vaghela, Shaktisinh Gohil, Siddharth Patel, Bharatsinh Solanki and Tushar Chaudhary.
