In a major twist in the infighting within Punjab Congress over the removal of the state Congress President Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the Congress high command has removed AICC General Secretary in-charge of the state, Bhupesh Baghel, and reassigned him to Assam.
Rajasthan Congress leader Sachin Pilot has been made the new AICC General Secretary in charge of Punjab.
The Congress on Saturday reassigned several AICC general secretaries and in-charges of states with immediate effect, according to a press release issued by AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal.
