In another change, Congress general secretary Mukul Wasnik was made the new in charge for Gujarat, replacing Raghu Sharma. The party also changed its Uttar Pradesh unit chief, replacing Brijlal Khabri with Ajay Rai, a former lawmaker who unsuccessfully fought against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014 and 2019 elections in Varanasi.

Congress insiders said on the condition of anonymity that these crucial changes were part of an upcoming organisational overhaul.

Surjewala is also in charge of Karnataka, where the Congress returned to power with a thumping majority earlier this year. He was credited for maintaining balance between two party stalwarts -- chief minister Siddaramaiah and state unit chief and deputy CM DK Shivakumar.
