What is wrong with Gujarat's Congress absent leadership, frontal groups for demoralized employees, and links to the BJP

Congress activists in Gujarat were "demoralized" by the national party leadership's lack of participation in state unit matters and the alleged collusion of certain state party leaders with the BJP. In their reports to the party high command, the observers from the All India Congress Committee (AICC), who were sent to supervise the selection of the presidents of the District Congress Committees (DCCs) throughout Gujarat, have raised some of these issues.
A five-member panel consisting of an AICC observer and four Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) observers was assigned to supervise the changes and guarantee the smooth operation of the DCCs in all 41 districts of Gujarat, a state where the party has been out of power for 30 years, as part of the AICC leadership's pilot project, which is reportedly the brainchild of Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
