In a major reshuffle and expansion in the ruling Congress in Rajasthan, 21 vice-presidents, one treasurer, 48 general secretaries, one general secretary (organisation), 121 secretaries and 25 district presidents were appointed late on Monday. The new working committee has a mix of supporters of all senior leaders of the party.
The appointment of a large number of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s supporters as office-bearers of the executive as well as the district presidents indicated to the dominance of the faction led by him. Though the supporters of former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot and Pradesh Congress Committee president Govind Singh Dotasra were also given space, their number was lesser than those of Mr. Gehlot’s loyalists.
Jitendra Singh, Naseem Akhtar Insaf, Kailash Meena, Rajkumar Jaipal and Darshan Singh were among the 21 newly-appointed vice-presidents of the party’s State unit. Lalit Tunwal was appointed general secretary (organisation), while Sita Ram Agarwal was named the treasurer.
