Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday offered prayers at the Dwarkadhish temple here following his arrival in Gujarat for his party's brainstorming session to chalk out a strategy for the state Assembly elections due in December this year.
Mr Gandhi is here to take part in the Chintan Shivir, a brainstorming session organised by the Gujarat Congress, which began on Friday and will end on Sunday. The visit is being seen as the start of the Congress' election campaign for the Assembly polls in a state that for long has been a BJP fortress.
Mr Gandhi landed at Jamnagar airport in a special plane, before arriving at Dwarka in a helicopter around noon.
He was welcomed at the helipad near Dwarka town by several senior party leaders, including Gujarat Congress president Jagdish Thakor, former state president Amit Chavda and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Sukhram Rathva, among others.
