Jaipur, October 24 (IANS) The Congress party is once again in the headlines in Rajasthan politics, as the announcement of new district presidents of the organization is awaited.
Sources said the district level report has reached Delhi and a final decision is expected soon at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters.
On Friday, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal held detailed discussions from morning to evening in Delhi to finalize the appointments of district presidents of Rajasthan.
Rajasthan in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, State Congress Committee (PCC) President Govind Singh Dotasra and opposition leader Tikaram Julie participated in the meeting.
The meeting focused on balancing caste representation, political influence and regional equations while shortlisting names from districts.
Sources said consensus among Randhawa, Dotasara and Julie will be important for the final selection. Dotasara and Julie also held a separate strategy meeting with Randhawa at his Delhi residence to review district-level feedback and potential candidates.
The compiled report has now been sent to Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, whose approval will come before the official announcement of the list.
Meanwhile, many contenders for the post of District President have been camping in Delhi since Diwali. Their presence is evident in hotels and Rajasthan State Guest House, as lobbying through meetings and political outreach has intensified.
Some optimists are also using festive trips and Diwali wishes to secure recommendations. The competition is particularly tough in districts where there are no sitting Congress MPs or MLAs.
However, the picture is clear in some areas – Sikar, where Dotasara influence dominates; Jhunjhunu, in support of MP Brijendra Singh Ola; Jodhpur under the guidance of former CM Ashok Gehlot; And Tonk and Bharatpur, where Sachin Pilot and Bhanwar Jitendra Singh have influence.
With hundreds of candidates in the fray in 50 districts, the reshuffle of the Congress organization has created significant anticipation.
Party insiders suggest that the final list could be announced any time, potentially by Friday evening, marking a major step in the organizational revival of the Congress in Rajasthan.
