Ahmedabad. Before the next year’s elections in Gujarat, the Congress is trying to change its face there. She is constantly trying to strengthen her hand. She is going to play the Dalit card by including Jignesh Mevani in the party. At present, the BJP has played a big bet by changing the entire cabinet with the Chief Minister. At the same time, Congress is also in the mood to do something similar. Jignesh was elected as an independent MLA from Vadgam in Gujarat. Jignesh had won the assembly elections by defeating the BJP candidate, while the Congress did not field its candidate on this seat and gave Jignesh a kind of undeclared support. Perhaps this is the reason why Jignesh has agreed to join the Congress today.
Jignesh and Congress friendship is old
Even though Jignesh Mevani is going to join Congress now, but his friendship with Congress is old. There has been a special relationship between the two. This has also been seen in the elections held in the year 2017. Where Jignesh won the independent elections, the Congress did not even field its candidate. Even though Jignesh was not in the Congress, but in front of the BJP government of the state, he is seen as an opposition party.

When Jignesh contested from Vadgam seat in 2017, this decision was shocking. Why would Jignesh of Ahmedabad want to do politics by going to Vadgam, about 150 km from here? However, if we look at the dates of political history, then this seat belonged to the Congress. Earlier, Congress MLAs were elected here. In such a situation, the Congress had given a chance to Jignesh, leaving his reserved seat. This was a masterstroke of Congress. Congress had created a political equation by fielding Jignesh from this seat. It is said that a big leader of Congress of Gujarat and presently Rajya Sabha MP has also played a big role in this.

Jignesh Mevani and Congress had a live-in relationship
Jignesh Mevani is an independent MLA from the Vadgam Legislative Assembly of Gujarat. Now he is going to officially join the Congress party. The role of Congress was also important in Jignesh becoming MLA. The relationship between Congress and Jignesh looks like a live-in relationship. When Jignesh chose the Vadgam (SC) reserved seat to contest, the BJP fielded Chakraborty against him, but the Congress did not field Umevar. Thus Jignesh managed to win well by stopping the division of votes and by the grace of Congress.
get back the lost
Talking about the history of Gujarat, here there has been a direct contest between BJP and Congress. In which, the voters of both the parties used to be decided at the same time. Dalits, Muslims and OBCs were mostly considered voters of the Congress and the upper castes and educated stood with the BJP. But after the arrival of Modi and due to the model of development, the voters of Congress broke up and they came with BJP. Today, the once fixed voters of Congress are also with BJP, then Congress can again make Jignesh Mevani the face to make its lost Dalit vote in its favor. Jignesh Mevani is a strong leader and he knows very well how to stay in the headlines, which Congress needs right now.
Congress will enter the fray as a Dalit face
According to sources, Congress will field Jignesh Mevani and Kanhaiya Kumar as a prominent Dalit face. This strategy is the brainchild of Prashant Kishor, who has been working secretly in the Congress for a long time. Prashant is making a strategy for the return of Rahul Gandhi and under this this confession is being made. As far as Gujarat is concerned, Gujarat has a population of 4074447 scheduled castes as per 2011 census. Jignesh will be projected as the leader of this 6.74 percent population. Apart from this, not only Jignesh in Gujarat, but Kanhaiya Kumar will be projected as the national face.
Congress’s face will also be in the media
The Congress is as if lost in the corridors of Gujarat during the BJP rule. In such a situation, Congress is looking for its face. After Hardik Patel’s arrival, it seemed like this for some time, but due to internal fight, he too could not show his flair. Now Congress is dreaming of strengthening its face in the media due to Jignesh.
Joining Jignesh Mevani can create atmosphere in Gujarat, Hardik can also benefit
Jignesh joining the Congress may help the party attract Scheduled Caste voters in Gujarat. Although Jignesh Mevani is constantly emerging as a voice on the issues of Dalits, despite being some big faces of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Congress will try to get Jignesh on the ground and play Hardik’s pair and Patidar card to connect the SC vote bank. In such a situation, an attempt will be made to blow the trumpet of Gujarat assembly elections and 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
