The disquiet within the Congress over the debacle in the recent Assembly elections played out in the public domain even as party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra held a closed-door review of its performance in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday.
Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister and party veteran Harish Rawat hinted at sabotage by colleagues not just against him but also his daughter, while countering the charge that he “sold” tickets to unworthy candidates. Mr. Rawat indicated that he could look at “other options” if he is seen as a liability for repeatedly losing elections.
Separately, the G-23 leaders, who had written to party chief Sonia Gandhi for sweeping internal reforms and collective leadership, too are said to be planning to meet on Wednesday to formulate their next course of action.
