The Congress Working Committee (CWC), the party’s highest decision-making body, will meet on Sunday to introspect on the recent debacle in the Assembly elections in Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, Manipur, and Uttar Pradesh. Ahead of the meeting, many members expressed reservations on the utility of such a meeting, since the party is yet to take cognisance of Ashok Chavan committee report which analysed the reasons for the defeat in Kerala and West Bengal in May last year.
The meeting will be attended by extended CWC which has 68 members including the in–charges of the five States.
After the party drew a blank in West Bengal and could not stop Pinarayi Vijayan from returning to power in Kerala, it had set up a five–member committee under former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan.
