Keeping in view the forthcoming Assembly election in Rajasthan, the Congress high command plans to revamp the Pradesh Congress Committee.
CP Joshi, who replaced BD Kalla as the PCC president, was mounting pressure on the party high command to reconstitute the party organisation.
Meanwhile, rivals of Joshi in the party have been demanding change of guard at the State, as they feel that working style of Joshi has annoyed a large number of party leaders and functionaries. It is understood that they were told by Central leaders that a change at this stage would adversely affect party's prospects at the election.
According to party sources, initially, Joshi was allowed change half-a-dozen State-level party functionaries. But Joshi has been trying to impress upon the party high command that he should given a free hand in choosing party functionaries and members of the PCC.
Sources said the party high command has asked Joshi to give due representation to Jats, who had announced their support to the Congress in the coming Assembly election.

A large section of the party is feeling that the State unit is not functioning as a cohesive body and if things do not improve in near future, it would affect the party badly. Recently, the party high command had allowed Joshi to appoint five district presidents, posts of which were lying vacant for the past two years.
