Mumbai: For the first time in the history of the Maharashtra Congress, two transgenders have been entrusted with important responsibilities. They are Salma Khan Sokerekar and Parvati Jogi, who have been made secretaries of the State Congress. After a long gap of six months after Nana Patole, who was the speaker of the assembly, was handed over the Bagdaur of the State Congress, the jumbo executive of the Maharashtra Congress has been declared in which former CM Prithviraj Chavan has been appointed as the chairman of the disciplinary committee.

Amarjeet Singh Manhas, who is running for Mumbai Congress president in the new executive of Maharashtra congress committee, has been made treasurer and late MP Rajiv Satava's wife Pragya Satava has been made vice president of the state Congress. Tell us that transgender Salma is the first gold medalist and judge of the Lok Adalat panel and vice-chairman of the Kinnarma Trust. On the other hand, Parvati is associated with social service activities. Prithviraj Chavan has been on the margins of the party for a long time. Chavan has been among the 23 Congress leaders who wrote to Sonia Gandhi on the congress' style of functioning.

Former Union Minister Amarjit Singh Manhas, who was very close to the late Gurudas Kamat, has been entrusted with the responsibility of treasurer of the state Congress. Amarjeet Singh, one of the congress loyalists, has got a big responsibility in a way.
