Congress president Rahul Gandhi has decided that all state unit chiefs of the party will continue in their posts until orders to replace them are issued.

Gandhi took the decision amid speculation that Pradesh Congress units would see new presidents and teams after the organisational elections.

"Congress president Rahul Gandhi has taken a decision that the presidents of all Pradesh Congress Committees (PCC), Regional Congress Committees and Territorial Congress Committees, will continue in their posts after the organisational elections, unless some decision is taken to replace them," a statement by AICC, general secretary, Janardan Dwivedi said.

Gandhi was elected as the Congress president unopposed in organisational elections of the party last month.

In another order, Gandhi asked Chhattisgarh Congress chief Bhupesh Baghel to continue in his post and appointed Ram Dayal Uike and Shiv Kumar Dhahariya as the working presidents of the PCC.
