Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): All India Congress Committee appointed three district Congress presidents on Saturday.
As part of exercise to make Congress ready for Assembly elections, the executive committee of Madhya Pradesh Congress was constituted on January 22. The new body announced by AICC organisational general secretary KC Venugopal has 50 vice-presidents and 150 general secretaries. The names of 64 presidents of District Congress Committees (rural and urban) were also been announced.

On Saturday, the AICC issued the appointment orders for presidents of Indore Rural, Mandsaur and Chhatarpur districts. Sadashiv Yadav is the Indore District Congress president, Vipin Jain is president of Mandsaur district and Lakhan Patel is president of Chhatarpur District Congress Committee. Sadashiv Yadav and Lakhan Patel were handling the same responsibility earlier.
