New Delhi, May 10 : Interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi has decided to constitute a fact finding committee to find reasons for the partys defeat in the four states which went to the polls recently.
After the Congress Working Committee meeting on Monday, party General Secretary K.C. Venugopal said, The committee will be constituted within 48 hours.
Interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi presided over a Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on Monday where she did not mince her words about the terrible performance of the party in the Assembly elections just past.
Party leader Rahul Gandhi was not present at the meeting as he was unwell, Congress leaders said, though he seemed to be active on social media. Sister and UP leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, however, attended. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh did not attend either.
As Congress leaders did not have much to say in their defence in the face of the huge electoral losses, the second part of the meeting turned into a discussion on the management of the Covid-19 pandemic. The election for the presidentship of the party has been deferred indefinitely at the suggestion of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot who cited Covid as the reason.
