Ahead of Rajasthan reshuffle, Maken hints at fresh faces in Cabinet

Ministers willing to quit and work for party, the AICC official says.

Amid speculations of a Cabinet reshuffle in Rajasthan, All India Congress Committee general secretary Ajay Maken on Friday hinted that some ministers may be dropped to make way for fresh faces. Mr. Maken said some of the Cabinet members had conveyed the desire to work for the party organisation. Mr. Maken was in Jaipur for the last two days to interact with the Congress MLAs and Independents supporting the Congress to get their feedback on the State government’s performance. Several legislators reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with some ministers and accused them of being inaccessible. The AICC in-charge of Rajasthan said several ministers were willing to quit the government and work for the party organisation. “With these party members ready to leave everything and work together with the party workers, the Congress is set to form the government once again in 2023,” Mr. Maken told reporters.
