NEW DELHI, Oct 1:
The Congress today appointed its senior leader Ajay Maken as the new treasurer replacing Pawan Kumar Bansal.
Maken is considered a close confidant of Rahul Gandhi and was without any post ever since he resigned as Congress general secretary incharge of Rajasthan a few months ago.
“Congress president has appointed Ajay Maken as the treasurer of the All India Congress Committee, with immediate effect,” party general secretary K C Venugopal said in a statement.
“The party appreciates the contribution of the outgoing treasurer Pawan Kumar Bansal,” the statement further said.
Bansal was appointed as interim treasurer after the demise of Ahmed Patel. (PTI)
