GANDHINAGAR: With less than a year to go for the assembly polls, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday approved the appointment of 13 district and city unit presidents in Gujarat. Of these, six are new while seven have been repeated, the party release said.
While the existing chiefs of Jamnagar city and Chhota Udepur, Morbi, Patan, Porbandar, Kheda and Junagadh districts were retained, the party leadership appointed new presidents for Porbandar city, Nadiad city, Anand, Dang, Devbhumi Dwarka and Dahod districts, said Gujarat Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi.
“The party has repeated leaders who have performed well in the past. We can expect more appointments for other cities and districts in the near future. This is part of our exercise to strengthen the party ahead of the assembly polls,” he said. The appointments came a month after former MP Jagdish Thakor took over as the party’s state unit president.
