New Delhi: Rattled by the poll debacle, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul on Monday got into a huddle with senior leaders to carry out a post-mortem of results in the four states amid talk that some heads could roll.

AICC General Secretaries in-charges and observers of all five states of Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh submitted their reports to the leadership, expressing surprise and disappointment at the results.

Mizoram is the only state where the Congress emerged winner. It was a loser in all the others including Delhi and Rajasthan where it was the ruling party.

The seriousness of the exercise could be guaged from the fact that senior ministers like A K Antony and Ghulam Nabi Azad skipped a meeting of the Union Cabinet to attend the consultations. After the two-hour-long meeting, the leaders including party general secretaries declined to talk to reporters nor any information was available officially from the AICC.

There was speculation that the AICC in-charge of the states where Congress lost have offered to resign but there was no confirmation.

Asked about the speculation, one of the participants in the meeting declined to comment. (PTI)
