New Delhi: Congress party will not declare their chief ministerial candidate for the coming assembly elections to be held in December but will contest the elections as a collective leadership, Gujarat prabhari, Raghu Sharma has informed.

However, this decision to fight the assembly elections under the collective leadership can also be attributed to the infighting going on within the party.

At a Congress party meeting presided over by Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, discussions centered around the need to attack the policies being pursued by the BJP government in the state and to refrain from targeting Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, personally.

A Congress taskforce held a 5 hour long meeting on Monday where party-leaders from Gujarat were invited and advised to put up a united fight during the upcoming assembly elections. The strategy is to focus on the failures of the state government during and before the Corona pandemic.

The task-force meeting was attended by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, KC Venugopal, Randeep Surjewala, Ajay Maken, and Congress party’s poll strategist, Sunil Kanungolu.

According to a party veteran, the Congress has more to lose than gain whenever it goes into an election with a chief ministerial face. The Congress has been away from the reins of power in Gujarat for three decades now. Though it succeeded in restricting the BJP’s victory on 99 seats in 2017, its organizational structure has significantly weakened during these five years. DeshGujarat
