Vaghasi (Anand) : Congress president Sonia Gandhi Saturday launched her party’s election campaign in Gujarat with a call to the people to vote for change.

“I seek in all humility your hands of cooperation for new Gujarat, where people can walk without fear and injustice, where there is a spirit of humanity and there is no corruption,” she said addressing a well-attended Mahila Samman Sammelan here, 60 km from Ahmedabad.

“Exercising our vote is not just a right. It is our duty as well. It is now a golden opportunity to shape the future of Gujarat,” Gandhi said at her first public meeting in the state after the assembly elections were announced.

The state’s 182 constituencies vote in a two-phase election on Dec 11 and 16.
