They stand as one, united by light of purpose ahead: Rahul Gandhi on Kerala Congress leaders
The Hindu
Rahul Gandhi asserts unity among Kerala Congress leaders ahead of Assembly elections in strategic meeting at Indira Bhawan.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (March 2, 2025) asserted that the party’s Kerala leaders “stand as one” and were “united” by the light of purpose ahead.
His assertion came after the Congress’ top brass met Kerala leaders at ‘Indira Bhawan’ in New Delhi for a brainstorming session on Friday (February 28, 2025) to discuss the strategy and the way forward ahead of next year’s Assembly elections.
Posting a picture from the media byte by Kerala leaders after the meeting, Mr. Gandhi said in a Facebook post, “They stand as one, united by the light of purpose ahead.” His post was accompanied by the hashtag ‘Team Kerala’.
The nearly-three-hour meeting at the Congress’ Indira Bhawan headquarters in New Delhi had discipline, unity and strengthening of the state organisation as its running theme.
At the meeting, Mr. Gandhi said leaders should be very careful about the political strategy and should not do or say anything that does not toe the party line, according to sources.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge had laid stress on discipline, ensuring unity and filling up the vacant posts to strengthen the party’s Kerala unit.
Besides Mr. Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Kerala Congress chief K. Sudhakaran, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in the Kerala Assembly V. D. Satheesan, Thiruvananthapuram MP Tharoor and AICC in-charge of Kerala Deepa Dasmunshi, among others, were present at the meeting.
