I will work as a party worker to see that the people in Rajasthan are getting the benefits of the state government's schemes."

"We will work for the organization. Congress will replace the BJP government from power in the Centre," he said.
Three ministers of Rajasthan Cabinet -- Govind Singh Dotasra, Raghu Sharma and Harish Chaudhary had written to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, expressing their desire to step down from their posts.
Cabinet reshuffle in Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan government is on the cards, sources had informed ANI.
There are demands for an expansion of the Gehlot cabinet for the past one year, especially after differences between Gehlot and party leader Sachin Pilot came out in open.
