Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president and former chief minister Kamal Nath said that the party must be more aggressive and well-organised to compete with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Assembly Elections.
A meeting of Madhya Pradesh Congress leaders was held at the party headquarters on Thursday.
Several former Cabinet ministers and senior leaders, such as Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh, Ajay Singh (Rahul), Kamaleshwar Patel, and Sajjan Singh Verma, attended the brainstorming session, which lasted three hours.
Kamal Nath chaired the meeting, which was attended not just by senior party leaders, but also by presidents and in-charges of all 52 districts
Leaders of Congress said the meeting was to kick off preparations for the 2023 Assembly Elections.
It may be noted that it was the first such meeting in which party cadre from the district level to the senior-most leaders were brought together for a brainstorming session.
The Congress won five mayoral cities in the recently-concluded local body polls, including Gwalior, Morena, and Rewa.
In his address, Kamal Nath urged the party cadre to reach out to people in their regions with a single goal of defeating the BJP in 2023.
“We can defeat the BJP only if we all move together. Time has come when you all need to come into action leaving everything else behind,” Nath said.
Nath said after one-and-a-half months, all district heads and in-charges will be called in and their work performance will be evaluated.
“We need to work more aggressively than earlier. And that should be in a well-organised manner,” Nath said.
Kamal Nath also explicitly advised those considering leaving the post of in-charge to make their decision as soon as possible, and “not create any disturbance later”.
