The Congress high command in Gujarat has warned party MLAs in the state that their renomination could be in jeopardy if they failed to act as "real opposition". Apparently, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) had urged its MLAs to take up the Anar Patel issue in a big way. The issue concerned controversial land allotment to entities associated with Anar Patel, daughter of state Chief Minister Anandiben Patel.
Assembly elections in the state are scheduled next year and the main Opposition party sensed an opportunity on the back of its success in local bodies polls some months back. As it turned out, the AICC was not happy with the way party MLAs took up - or failed to take up - the issue. So it has let it be known that these MLAs would be monitored for their performance and it would have a bearing on their renomination.
