Jaipur: The Congress has seen the first major change after the chintan shivir held in Udaipur district of Rajasthan. Jairam Ramesh has been appointed general secretary in-charge by the party. At the same time, the media charge has also been handed over to him from Randeep Surjewala. Jairam Ramesh has now been appointed as general secretary in-charge of communication, publicity and media (including social and digital media).
The decision was announced in a letter issued by Congress organisation in-charge and party general secretary KC Venugopal. He said congress working president Sonia Gandhi has appointed Jairam Ramesh as the general secretary in charge of communication, publicity and media (including social and digital media) with immediate effect. At the same time, Surjewala has been relieved from the post of media in-charge. He will continue to be the party in-charge of Karnataka. However, no official information has been revealed as to why the post has been taken away from Surjewala.
However, the decision has been taken by the party at a time when Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is embroiled in the enforcement directorate (ED) interrogation. For the past three days, Rahul Gandhi has been responding to the questions of the investigating agency in the National Herald case. Congress workers are also creating a ruckus on the road. Randeep Surjewala is also constantly making statements in the media and is busy making a hue and cry in favour of the party. But even after this, Surjewala has been removed from the post of media in-charge. Randeep Surjewala has congratulated only Jairam Ramesh on the party's decision. He said, best wishes to Jairam Ramesh for the new responsibility. Your support will continue to get you.
