Make list of ‘Kauravas’ in Congress ‘who sit in AC offices and disturb others’, says Rahul Gandhi to party leaders in Gujarat

He also hit out at the Modi government, saying it has "CBI, ED, media, police and goons"

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday asked his party leaders in Gujarat to prepare a list of "Kauravas" in the party, who just "sit in their AC offices, do nothing but talk and disturb others", adding that such people eventually cross over to the BJP.

He also hit out at the Modi government over the use of central agencies, saying it has "CBI, ED, media, police and goons", and said ultimately it is the truth that matters.

Alleging that Gujarat is suffering because of "BJP's politics", he said Congress has an opportunity to win the next Assembly polls in the state, but it fails to convey a clear vision to the people about what it intends to do after it comes to power.

Mr. Gandhi, who was in Gujarat as part of his day-long visit, was addressing the party leaders and office-bearers on the second day of the three-day Chintan Shivir, a brainstorming session, organised here by the state unit of the party to chalk out the strategy for the Assembly elections due in December this year.

Before coming to the venue, he visited the Dwarkadhish temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, where he offered prayers.

"They have CBI, ED, media, police, goons and new attire everyday. But those things don't matter at all. Gujarat teaches us that what matters is truth. Look at Gandhiji. Did he ever have good clothes, ED or CBI? No. Because the truth is always simple," he said.

"Congress workers must understand that they have already won the Gujarat Assembly election. You are just not accepting it. People of Gujarat are watching you with high hopes. The BJP has harmed the people of Gujarat more than it has harmed the Congress here," he said.
