NEW DELHI: In what may seem to be a sudden development, newly-elected Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Singh Surjewala was removed as the Congress general secretary in-charge of communication on Thursday night. He was replaced with former Union minister Jairam Ramesh as party general secretary in-charge of communication, publicity and media including social and digital media "with immediate effect".
The crucial change comes at a time when the Congress leaders and workers have hit the streets to protest the grilling of party leader Rahul Gandhi by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald case on three days this week.
