"Bow down to the land of Gujarat": Deepender Hooda on Congress CWC meet in Ahmedabad

Hooda said that he bowed down to the land of Gujarat, which gave birth to Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and the ideology of Congress.

He further accepted that the present times are "challenging" for Congress and stated that they will strengthen the organisational ideology with a new resolution and take it to every corner of India.

"We bow down to the land of Gujarat that gave birth to Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel, and also to the ideology of Congress. We accept that these are challenging times for Congress. We will strengthen our organisational ideology with a new resolution and take it to every corner of India... We also discussed the tariff issue..." Deepender Singh Hooda told ANI.

Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Lop (Lok Sabha) Rahul Gandhi, and CPP chairperson Sonia Gandhi participated in the prayer meeting at the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad.

As the CWC meeting convened in Ahmedabad, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on the BJP and said that attention is being diverted from the country's basic issues by creating "communal division."

At the opening ceremony of the AICC convention, Kharge said, "Today, attention is being diverted from the basic issues of the country by doing Communal Division. On the other hand, Oligarchic Monopoly is on the path of controlling the governance by capturing the resources of the country."

The Congress President further said that a "conspiracy" is being carried out in the nation regarding several national heroes, including that of bilateral ties between former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhai Patel.

Kharge said, "Friends, for the last many years, a well-planned conspiracy has been carried out regarding many national heroes."

An atmosphere is being created against the Congress party, which has a glorious history of serving and fighting for the country for 140 years. This work is being done by those people who have nothing to show as their achievements. They have nothing to show as their contribution in the freedom struggle," he added. (ANI)
