49 Gujarat Youth Congress Office‑Bearers Suspended for Skipping Rahul Gandhi Rally

The Gujarat Pradesh Youth Congress announced that 49 of its office‑bearers have been suspended for not attending a public rally where senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed supporters in the state. The disciplinary action was taken by the state Youth Congress leadership, which said the absences reflected a breach of party discipline and a lack of commitment to the party's mobilisation efforts.

According to the statement released by the Gujarat Youth Congress, the suspended members were expected to be present at the rally, which was part of a broader campaign to revive Congress activities ahead of upcoming elections. Their failure to appear was described as “unjustified absenteeism” that undermined the party’s outreach.

The party has indicated that the suspended office‑bearers will be given an opportunity to appeal the decision, while interim arrangements will be made to fill the vacant positions. The move underscores the Congress leadership’s intent to enforce strict adherence to party directives as it seeks to rebuild its organisational base in Gujarat.
