He announced a major shift in candidate selection: "From now on, candidates will be decided through the organisation, not imposed from the top. We are launching this as a pilot project in the country."

Addressing Congress booth workers at Modasa's Swaminarayan Mandir during his Gujarat tour, he said the new guidelines will be launched in Gujarat as a "pilot project". He cautioned workers that only those "who fights for people's issues will become leader".
