New Delhi/Patna, May 22 (IBNS): Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuersday appointed Virender Singh Rathore and Rajesh Lalothia as the new All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretaries for the state of Bihar.

Both have been appointed as secretaries with an immediate effect.

In Bihar, Congress had fought the state polls in a grand alliance with the Janata Dal (United) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in 2015.

Though later Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(S) had left the alliance and went along with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the state government, the Congress is still in coalition with the RJD.
