New Delhi: Ahead of the expansion and reshuffle in Rajasthan state cabinet, Congress party is all set to appoint a new executive body in the state. On Tuesday, Rajasthan Congress Chief Govind Dotasra said that it will be a relatively small committee and will have coordination among young and veterans in the state unit.
While speaking over the matter, Dotasra told reporters, "We will send our recommendations for new State Executive of Rajasthan Congress to Ajay Maken by December 31. This committee will have coordination among young and veteran leaders. But it will be a small committee. After getting feedback over it, the entire committee will be formed."
"Ajay Maken ji has met the Congress workers. I've been doing this exercise from last 3-4 months and even discussed it with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and with Sachin Pilot as well. I believe that we'll send our proposal to the party leadership very soon," he further informed.
Various rounds of discussions were held in Delhi as well. The list drawn for the political appointments will be submitted to Congress President Sonia Gandhi. The faction of Sachin Pilot is hopeful to get a look in, who were being sidelined after the political turmoil between Gehlot and Pilot.
All India Congress Committee had dissolved all the working committees and departments in July. Sachin Pilot was sacked as the PCC Chief and Dotasra was appointed in his place.
Dotasra also attacked Minister of State for Agriculture, Kailash Choudhary for alleging that Rahul Gandhi is inciting farmers for his own political gains.
He said, "You should ask Kailash Chaudhary how many cases have been imposed upon him. BJP incites people, not Congress. From the past 34 days, farmers are agitating. If we were inciting people then it could have already been done. Congress is standing with the farmers to protect their esteem.

The Congress leader added, "He is the son of a farmer. Like Akali Dal and Hanuman Beniwal, he should also resign from his post and get separated from BJP, for the welfare of farmers and to save his own political inheritance."
When asked about the future plans of Congress party in support of farmers protest and if the opposition party is still consistent on its demand of repealing the farm laws, Dotasra said that Rajasthan Congress has begun 'Kisan Samvad' to speak to the farmers over this matter as a number of farmers from Rajasthan are also ready to join the protest.
"From December 28, on the occasion of Congress Foundation Day, the Rajasthan state unit has started 'Kisan Samvad'. A number of MPs, MLAs are speaking to the farmers and standing in solidarity with them. If the farm community will be weakened, this entire country will be weakened," he asserted.
