Nagpur/New Delhi: The Congress has appointed Avinash Pande as its new general secretary in Rajasthan. Pande replaces Gurudas Kamat who had requested the Congress high command to relieve of all organisational responsibilities.
The Congress leadership has also made some changes in the past few weeks, appointing former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot as party general secretary in-charge of poll-bound Gujarat.
In another development, Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh was divested of the charge of Goa and Karnataka. The sacking of Singh, a rare move in the grand old party, came in view of the Goa fiasco that saw the BJP return to power despite the Congress emerging as the largest party. It was widely seen as a clear message that the leadership will no longer shy away from acting tough in such cases.
