Congress on Digvijaya Singh's remark that the party needs surgery not introspection. The party said, "Surgery is not the first step, we need to explore all options. All suggestions will be discussed at the Working Committee meeting."

Soon after its dud results on Thursday in the five-state elections, the Congress received lacerating, unsolicited advice from one of its senior leaders.
 
"Today's results disappointing but not unexpected. We have done enough Introspection shouldn't we go for a Major Surgery ?" tweeted Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.
 
The tweet was posted not long after party president Sonia Gandhi's statement promising introspection.
 
"We will introspect into the reasons for our loss and will rededicate ourselves to the service of the people with greater vigour," Gandhi said.

Before Sonia, in a series of tweets, Rahul said: My best wishes to the parties that have won the electionsWe will work harder till we win the confidence and trust of people.

In fact, Digvijaya Singh was not the first to record his dissatisfaction with the way things were in the grand old party.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said yesterday that the time for introspection is now past. "Time for action has come It is time to move and it is time to make some visible changes that the world and the country can see because for a couple of years after 2014, the process for consideration, reflection, introspection and so on has been taking place. It is now time for the leadership to draw on the conclusion from their introspection and take necessary action.
