The leadership tussle within the Gujarat Congress has intensified as Patidar and Koli communities push for representation at the top. Following Shaktisinh Gohil's resignation, both communities are vying for the state unit president position.
Koli leader Vimal Chudasama met with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, advocating for a Koli leader's appointment, citing a large community base. Simultaneously, Patidar leaders gathered to discuss leveraging the position to regain community support.
