Now, you have given us two more Gujaratis who are working against the same freedom and dividing people," Kharge said, in an apparent attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.</p>.<p>Kharge further said, "Every speech of Modi ji begins with Congress and ends with Congress. In all his failures, he blames Congress because he knows that it is only Congress that can end his (Modi's) politics."</p>.<p>The 10-day training camp is part of the party's "Sangathan Srujan Abhiyan", which is the second such training camp organised in Gujarat. The Congress, through these camps, is trying to prepare a roadmap to revamp the party ahead of the 2027 state Assembly election.</p>.<p>"We can win the upcoming elections in Gujarat, as since 2014, the state has been run by a remote-control government. All decisions are taken in Delhi. BJP has ruled the state for the past 25 years, and now people understand the ground reality," Kharge said.</p>
