"Changes will be brought in the organisation soon," AICC media department chief Janardan Dwivedi told reporters in New Delhi.

Dwivedi parried questions on how soon the reshuffle would take place.

Asked whether those inducted in the government from the AICC will be relieved of party work, Dwivedi said "this cannot be said with certainty...But there will be effort made to see that those who work in the government concentrate on it and those who work in the party do organisational work".

To a query about the priority of the party following the victory in Lok Sabha elections, Dwivedi said the organisation would be streamlined, membership drive will be launched and organisation elections will be completed by December 2010.

Four AICC General Secretaries were inducted in the Manmohan Singh Cabinet.

While Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mukul Wasnik were inducted as cabinet ministers, Prithviraj Chavan was inducted as Minister of State with Independent charge and V Narayanasami as Minister of state.
