Jaipur: Hectic lobbying is on ahead of political appointments and a cabinet expansion in Rajasthan with leaders making a beeline for Delhi to meet state incharge Ajay Maken.
In the past one week, around 30 leaders from Rajasthan including former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot, state Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra, ministers, MLAs and MLA candidates who lost the elections have met Maken in Delhi.
Sources said Pilot had two meetings with Maken on Monday and Tuesday, and held discussions on political appointments and on the cabinet rejig.
Pilot is understood to have forwarded new names from his camp for cabinet appointments. When Congress came to power in 2018, six MLAs were made ministers from Pilotâs quota. These were Bhanwarlal Meena, Vishvendra Singh, Ramesh Meena, Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, Udailal Anjana and Pramod Jain. However, Bhanwarlal Meena has passed away while Anjana, Khachariyawas and Jain shifted loyalties to Gehlot.
