Gehlot maintained that Congress had performed well in the urban polls despite alleged irregularities, securing a vote tally close to that of the BJP. He expressed confidence that the partyโs longstanding support in rural areas would translate into victory in the forthcoming elections.
Emphasising that the campaign required a collective effort, he said responsibility rested with both the leadership and grassroots workers.
โThis is not the fight of an individual. It is a fight for all of us,โ Gehlot said, adding that he had been contacting public representatives and had already spoken to several party colleagues.
He asked workers to visit villages, spend time with residents and highlight what he described as the BJPโs undemocratic conduct.
Gehlot argued that strong public backing would be the partyโs most effective safeguard against any attempt to influence the electoral process through the police or administration.
