However, with debutant Aam Adam Party aggressively expanding its base in the state, the party is now finding it difficult to keep the moral of its workers high even though it has started campaigns highlighting the failure of the incumbent government on economic and health fronts particularly its handling of the second wave of Covid. While until recently the senior leaders would assure that the High Command is in the process of appointing the state-in-charge for the party, a position fallen vacant after the young Rajiv Satav fell to Covid in May and then the rest of the appointments will be made, the delay in decision making has now left them silent and often avoiding questions in this regard.“With no committee in place, how can the party work cohesively or implement any programme uniformly at the grass roots level?” Asked an exasperated senior leader of the party. “Even the President is not sure if he will continue, neither the workers know what they will have to do once a new committee comes in,” he added.“The signal from the High Command is not very encouraging and many feel that the central leadership has given up on Gujarat,” said a veteran leader who refused to be named. “There is some serious discontent brewing within,” he admitted.Meanwhile former Union Minister Bharatsinh Solanki had met election strategist Prashant Kishore in Delhi, initiating several speculations in the state. However, Congress President Amit Chavda made it clear that Solanki had met Kishore on his independent capacity. Kishore on his part also told ET that he had announced retirement from election management after Bengal Election and that hasn’t changed, refusing to ascribe any importance with the meeting with Solanki.
