Congress to focus on strongholds to deny maximum seats to Modi

Ahmedabad: The Congress has decided to focus on its strongholds in Gujarat—the central and the tribal belt—in the Lok Sabha polls, to deny BJP's prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi a clean sweep in the state.

“The party high command has given much thought in selection of candidates on our A grade seats and on other seats also,” he said.

The party has also focused on campaigning in their strongholds to maximise the gains in such seats.  

It has also held rallies and meetings in tribal belts, where senior leaders like Ahmed Patel have campaigned.  

Party vice-president Rahul Gandhi, during his two visit to the state to campaign had addressed rallies in tribal seat of Chotta Udepur and one seat of Central Gujarat and had also interacted with salt pan workers in Surendranagar district.
