June 22, 2014 20:49
A high-powered panel of Congress led by party veteran A K Antony today took stock of factors leading to its crushing defeat in the Lok Sabha elections in Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. While Congress is participating in an alliance government in Jharkhand headed by JMM leader Hemant Soren, it is in the opposition in other two states for more than a decade.
In the meeting, the Antony panel asked each participant the reasons for the party's poor show and elicited views as to how it can stage a comeback. All the Lok Sabha candidates, PCC chiefs and senior leaders of the three states took part in the exercise.
B K Hari Prasad, the party's general secretary in-charge of these states, said it was a stock-taking exercise. "We have discussed in detail as to what went wrong and how to revive the party," he said.
