Ahmedabad, April 29: State Congress today said it will boycott the Golden Gujarat celebrations beginning tomorrow and will instead hold a public convention in Gandhinagar on Saturday, on the occasion of the foundation day of the state.
“We will not participate in the Golden Gujarat celebrations (on April 30 and May 1) organised by the state government because the government has never consulted or taken into confidence the Opposition party (regarding it),” Leader of Opposition Shaktisinh Gohil told reporters here.
“The celebrations have become party celebrations and not the government’s celebrations,” he added.
In the convention in Gandhinagar, senior Congress leader and political advisor of Sonia Gandhi, Ahmed Patel and Chief Minister of Goa, Haryana and Delhi would be present besides Union ministers from the state, he said.
