Shimla: The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has appointed Rajni Patil as the new in-charge of Himachal Congress. After the approval of National President Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal issued orders late night.
Rajni Patil is originally from Maharashtra. She is a Rajya Sabha MP. Rajni Patil will now replace Rajiv Shukla in Himachal. Rajiv Shukla’s tenure had exceeded four years. That is why he has been replaced.
Rajni Patil has been in charge of Himachal earlier too
Rajni Patil has been in charge of Himachal Congress earlier as well. She was appointed in charge of Himachal Congress for the first time on 22 May 2018. In September 2020, she was removed and Rajiv Shukla was made in charge of Himachal.
Big responsibility before the 2027 elections
The Congress high command has entrusted her with this important responsibility for the second time before the 2027 assembly elections. The Congress organization in Himachal has been dissolved for more than three months. At such a time, Rajni Patil has got this responsibility.
