The Indian National Congress is set to return to Gujarat for a major party gathering after more than six decades, with the 84th National Convention of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) scheduled to be held in Ahmedabad on April 8 and 9, 2025.
Congress MP and party General Secretary Jairam Ramesh highlighted the party’s deep-rooted historical ties with the state, noting that this will be the sixth time the Congress is meeting in Gujarat since its inception in 1885.
Sharing historical details on social media platform X, Ramesh stated, "The Indian National Congress was established on December 28, 1885. It first met in Gujarat at Ahmedabad during December 23-26, 1902, under the presidentship of Surendra Nath Bannerjee. The second time the INC met in Gujarat was at Surat during December 26-27, 1907, under the presidentship of Rash Behary Ghose. The third time the INC met in Gujarat was again in Ahmedabad during December 27-28, 1921, under the presidentship of Hakim Ajmal Khan."
"The INC met in Gujarat for a fourth time at Haripura during Feb 19-21, 1938, under the presidentship of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The INC met in Gujarat for the fifth time at Bhavnagar during Jan 6-7, 1961, under the presidentship of Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy," Ramesh added.
The upcoming event will feature the Extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting at the Sardar Patel Memorial on April 8, followed by the full AICC gathering on April 9.
"The INC is meeting in Gujarat for a sixth time in Ahmedabad on April 8-9, 2025, under the presidentship of Mallikarjun Kharge. The Extended CWC will be held at the Sardar Patel Memorial on April 8, and the AICC will meet the next day on the banks of the River Sabarmati between Sabarmati Ashram and Kochrab Ashram," Ramesh declared.
The gathering is expected to witness the presence of top Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and KC Venugopal.
In preparation for the event, the AICC has also announced the formation of a drafting committee tasked with preparing key documents and resolutions to be presented during the convention.
