Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], July 30 (ANI): Eyeing 2023 Rajasthan Assembly elections, Congress leader Ajay Maken said he has held a discussion with the party for the upcoming state elections and hopes that the Congress party retains its position in the state.

While addressing a press conference at the party office in Jaipur, Maken said, "In last three days, I spoke to all MLAs and party leaders in Rajasthan and discussed how we can work for the upcoming state elections and retain our position here."

"We will soon appoint district and block-level chiefs in the state", said AICC in charge of Rajasthan.
