At party workers' camp, LoP blames 'biased umpire' EC for poll routs
WITH Gujarat in its crosshairs for the 2027 Assembly elections, the Congress on Saturday launched an aggressive organisational rejig led by Rahul Gandhi. At a high-stakes training camp in Anand, he took sharp digs at the Election Commission (EC), vowed to dethrone the BJP in its home turf, and energised grassroots leaders under the 'Sangathan Sujan Abhiyan'.
With Mission 2027 in full swing, the Congress has kicked off a decisive campaign from Gujarat—the BJP's strongest bastion. A three-day training camp for newly appointed District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents is underway at a resort near Anand, aimed at crafting a clear roadmap for the upcoming elections.

Youth tend to act first and reflect later. This may explain why many young people spend a fair bit of time regretting ‘sins of commission’, or things they’ve said or done. These ‘sins’ are usually the result of impulsive actions, poor decisions or simple social missteps. Feelings of regret may arise from cruel words hurled at parents, a fight with a sibling, a reckless purchase, a cringe-worthy message sent to an ex at 2 am, or a job impulsively quit.
