Mangalore, March 5: Former Udupi MP and senior Congress leader of the coastal district Vinay Kumar Sorake has been made AICC secretary in the reshuffle of the Congress Working Committee.

Sorake, who entered political arena as a student leader with NSUI, has been asigned the task of overseeing party affairs in Orissa under party in-charge CWC member Jagdish Tytler.

A prominent leader from the Billava community, Sorake shot into the limelight in late 80s by becoming the MLA of Puthur at a very young age.

Sorake, in his new role, will also look after the affairs of the Congress Seva Dal.

The other major change after the CWC reshuffle is removal of Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily as a permanent invitee and party in charge of Andhra Pradesh.

The removal of Moily is being seen as a result of his failure to give proper inputs to the party as in charge of Andhra Pradesh on the handling of the Telangana issue where it is struggling to tide over the crisis. There were complaints against Moily that he was siding with Jagan Mohan Reddy and failed to rein the rebel Congress MP revolted against the party high command.

Labour Minister Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader C K Jaffer Sharief have been removed as members of the CWC. However, veteran leader and Gandhian M V Rajasekharan has found a place in the permanent invitee list in the CWC, the highest decision making body of the party.

Gandhi family loyalist Oscar Fernandes has been made General Secretary and elevated from existing permanent invitee to CWC member and will be in charge of AICC meetings, sessions, CWC and Central Election Committee and AICC departments.

Former Rajya Sabha member B K Hariprasad has been retained as CWC member and will be in charge of party affairs in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Haryana while he was relieved of his job in Gujarat.

K B Krishnamurthy continued as AICC secretary this time too and has been attached to Union Health Minister and General Secretary Gulam Nabi Azad and made in charge secretary to Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh.
