Sachin Pilot named Rajasthan Congress chief


New Delhi, Jan 13 (Agencies) : In a major rejig ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the name of Corporate Affairs Minister Sachin Pilot has been okayed for the post of president of Congress in Rajasthan.

Senior Congress leader Janardan Dwivedi has confirmed Pilot's appointment.

The rejig, which is high on the agenda of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, was being talked about in party circles after the Congress' rout in four state Assembly polls on December 08.

Environment and Forests Minister Jayanthi Natarajan resigned from the Manmohan Singh ministry in December 2013, triggering speculation that more ministers may follow suit to take up new roles.

Also, Pilot had earlier said that there would not be anything surprising in a minister quitting the government to do party work.

Pilot had said that according to the situation, people do different works.

    After the recent state elections the Congress Party woke up and started crawling. What is ever happening recently in Congress is due to either AAP nor BJP. By the time the Congress finish all these exercises the General elections will be over.

    You seem to have started liking 'feku'...I’m not a full time internet karasevak to keep commenting on each and every news...
    I don’t know why think Congress is going through a bad time. Dude, it’s much bigger than you imagine. It’s a party people of India is being accepted since last 60 years, it has presence in all states of India, even in those states where BJP does not have an office. To be honest BJP is in bad time while AAP has concurred their media and social network campaign...

    Sachin Pilot is a young and energetic leader. We should remove all above 70 years from politics and must not vote for such candidates from any party.All these oldies are so used to the systemic corruption that we will no be able to eliminate corruption in India
