New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): Ahead of the crucial Assembly elections, the Congress on Thursday announced the Election Committee for Rajasthan with state unit chief Govind Singh Dotasra as its Chairman and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot among the members.

In a communication, Congress General Secretary, Organisation, K.C. Venugopal said: "Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has approved for the constitution of Pradesh Election Committee for the ensuing assembly elections in Rajasthan with immediate effect."
