Jaipur, September 6 (IANS) The Congress has formed eight election committees for poll-bound Rajasthan, though none of them will be headed by former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot. However, as a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), Pilot is an ex officio member of all the election committees.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has been named Chairman of the Coordination Committee, while state in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has been made the Coordinator of the Core Committee.

The leaders appointed as the head of the election committees will remain ex officio members in each committee.
Efforts have been made to maintain a political balance in the election committees. By making Govind Ram Meghwal the Campaign Committee head, the Congress has tried to send out a message to the Dalit voters.
