Congress leader Pawan Khera labeled the meeting as “historic” and highlighted the party’s role as the nation's guiding light.

Former Union Minister Salman Khurshid shared his belief in the party’s capacity to influence India’s future.
He stated, “Gujarat has consistently empowered this nation. From our struggle for independence to this day, Congress has achieved significant milestones through its principles, and we will once again draw fresh strength from here.

Sushil Kumar Shinde, former Home Minister, reaffirmed Congress' dedication to secularism, asserting, “Our governance does not hinge on caste or religion; we uphold the tenets of secularism. This is the land of Mahatma Gandhi, who instilled unity through ‘Ishwar Allah Tero Naam’, and we continue to advance with those values.”

This is the land of Sardar Patel and Mahatma Gandhi, the very soil where the freedom struggle began. From here, Congress is strategizing its revival. To triumph nationally, we must first succeed in Gujarat.”
The meeting will gather around 170 members, including MPs and former Chief Ministers, laying the foundation for the Congress party’s strategy moving ahead, focusing on revitalizing its presence in Gujarat before the next elections.
