In a bid to face the election in the coming years, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has banks upon the new MPs for the strengthening the party. The stamp of Congress was evident in the All India Congress Committee reshuffle announced in which the Younger MPs were given proper importance.
According sources, Mumbai MP Priya Dutt, 46, will assist former union minister Ajay Maken, who has been given charge of the party's communications and publicity.
Again Haryana MP Ashok Tanwar, 37, who had been assisting party general secretary Mohan Prakash in affairs relating to Gujarat, has been handed charge of poll-bound Rajasthan, besides Dadar and Nagar Haveli.
In the same way, the Rajasthan MP Harish Chaudhary, 43, who had been given charge of Punjab as secretary recently, has now been given additional charge of poll-bound Delhi.
It is noted that soon after he became party vice president in January this year, Rahul Gandhi had said that the party would see an organisational reshuffle to mix youth and experience.
