In Gujarat’s dynamic political landscape, various parties are navigating the complexities of governance and public opinion. Despite numerous statements and efforts over the past twenty-five years, the Congress party has secured limited victories, often appearing content with marginal gains. In regions like Rajkot, overconfidence has seemingly led to dwindling support, although some claim that grassroots backing is on the rise.
Jagdish Thakor, a former prominent member of Gujarat Congress, discusses the current political atmosphere and the challenges faced by his party. “The BJP has notably fortified its presence in Patan,” Thakor acknowledges. “However, our team in Banaskantha has received tremendous support, and we have confidently declared our candidates.”

During the election campaigns, concerns regarding the ruling government’s misuse of funds and resources have been significant. “The misuse of government resources is a serious issue,” says Thakor. “In contrast, Congress has faced these elections with determination despite economic hardships and other challenges. Our ethos centers around serving the people without pursuing financial gain, which sets us apart from our opponents.”
Despite setbacks, Congress remains hopeful and determined to identify and address critical issues. “We are focusing on grassroots work and connecting with the people,” Thaor explains. “Acknowledging the leadership of Mukul Wasnik and Shaktisinh Gohil, we are preparing for upcoming elections, including taluka, district panchayat, and municipal corporation elections. We’ve faced challenges, but we remain committed to our responsibilities.”
Rajkot has witnessed tragic incidents, raising questions about the state government’s actions and policies. Thakor emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues and ensuring justice for affected families. “Transparency and accountability are crucial,” he states.
Congress is determined to work for the people and address their concerns. “We acknowledge our past mistakes and are committed to improving our performance in future elections,” Thakor concludes. “It’s a journey of continuous effort and dedication to serve the nation better.”
