Congress to flag Hindutva theme in Gujarat elections

The Congress is hoping to win big in Gujarat. What will be the party's strategy? Find out here.

The BJP is in election mode once again and this time it is battle Gujarat. The party has set a target of 150 seats and will have Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP's national president Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi as the star campaigners. With Hindutva becoming the central theme, the Congress too is likely to rope in the same strategy during the Gujarat assembly elections slated to be held at the end of this year.

Both the Congress and BJP are expecting early elections in the state. The Congress think-tank has advised leaders to adopt the Hindutva plank during the Gujarat polls. The BJP's campaign, on the other hand, would focus on development laced by Hindutva.

The BJP is already in campaign mode. During a recent breakfast meeting of BJP legislators from Uttar Pradesh where the BJP won over 300 seats, Shah said that they must always be in election mode. On Sunday, the Virat Hindu Sammelan will be held in Ahmedbad.

During that meet, the emphasis would largely be on stricter cow protection laws. This is a clear indicator that the BJP would be pushing the Hindutva plank hard to retain Gujarat.
