Randeep Singh Surjewala has been thankfully relieved from his current responsibility as General Secretary In-charge, Communication. He will continue as General Secretary In-charge, Karnataka,” reads the official statement signed by the party’s general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal.
This comes after, Surjewala won the Rajya Sabha election from Rajasthan.
Congress had won all three Rajya Sabha seats it contested in party-ruled Rajasthan with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also winning a seat in the state.
Congress had fielded Mukul Wasnik, Randeep Surjewala, and Pramod Tiwari while BJP’s Ghanshyam Tiwari and media baron Subhash Chandra, as an independent, were in the fray for four vacant seats.
