MLAs miffed over PCC chiefs corporate ways

Farooq Sheikh of Kalupur Assembly seat said Muslim legislators were not kept in the loop by Patel while finalising candidates for Junagadh corporation elections or the Assembly bypolls. They were also not consulted when Patel cleared the names of office-bearers for party units in 16 Assembly constituencies of Ahmedabad last week,he said. Our interests are being overlooked and we will complain about this to the high command, said Sheikh.

Former minister Raghavji Patel,who is sitting MLA from Jamnagar,said the leadership needed to make efforts to revitalise the party. All of us need to do chintan to know why Congresss position has deteriorated to such an extent and why we are not able to face Narendra Modi, he said,adding that the high command would certainly find a solution to the ills plaguing the party here.
