Cong appoints new office bearers for Gujarat

Congress today brought in a new team of office bearers in Gujarat, the BJP-ruled state where it has been out of power for more than two decades.
The team comprises seven Vice Presidents, eight General Secretaries and a Treasurer.
Among the new general secretaries are Dipak Amin, Lalji Desai, Iqbal Patel and Nishit Vyas, who has also been made a spokesperson.
Maulin Vaishnav, Raghavji Patel, Kunvarji Bavalia, Jitubhai Patel, Chandrikaben Chudasama, Lakhabhai Bharvad and Mahendrasinh Suraiya have been made Vice Presidents.
Virjibhai Thuman will head the Kisan cell, Nitin Shah the Economic Affairs Committee, Babubhai Mangukia the Legal and Human Rights cell, Natvarsinh Mahida the Disciplinary Committee and Vijay Dave the Literature and Publications Committee.

Former Union Minister Bharatsinh Solanki was made the Gujarat PCC President recently after Arjun Modhwadia resigned taking moral responsibility for the party's failure to win even one Lok Sabha seat in the state with all 26 going to BJP.
