Congress leader Pawan Khera labeled the meeting as “historic” and highlighted the party’s role as the nation's guiding light.
“This meeting is crucial and historic... I firmly believe that the only remaining hope for the country is the Congress party. The entire nation is now turning to Congress,” Khera proclaimed, emphasizing the responsibility the party holds in steering the country ahead.
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. I am convinced, as the Congress Party is, that what this country rightfully deserves is far from what the Modi government can offer.”
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.”
Meira Kumar, former Lok Sabha Speaker, acknowledged Gujarat’s crucial role in Congress' history.
“The Congress convention is about to take place here, and Gujarat has consistently reinforced Congress. Once again, the people of Gujarat will bolster Congress.”

Mumtaz Patel stressed the symbolic importance of the CWC meeting, declaring, “This meeting is not merely symbolic; it conveys a message. 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.
