The Congress will hold a crucial meet on Gujarat on Friday which will be chaired by Rahul Gandhi. The meeting comes ahead of appointment of new state president and recent debacles in urban local body elections.
The meeting will be attended by important leaders of the state including president, working president and other office bearers of the party. Sources said that this will be a feedback session to take stock of the state organisation which has not been able to defeat BJP in the state.
The recently appointed State In charge Raghu Sharma has tough task to take the veterans and young leaders along to strengthen the party organisation.
The Congress is zeroing on faces for the new state president. Former Union Minister Bharat Singh Solanki and Arjun Modwadia are being considered for the top party job while among the younger lot, Hardik Patel is said to be in the final lap, as he is already working president. However, Modwadia who is campaign committee chairman could be the top choice as he is from Porbandar.
The Congress’ experiment with Paresh Dhanani and Amit Chavda have not yielded results and many MLAs have left the party since 2017 elections.
