Poll debacle: Sonia Gandhi asks PCC chiefs of 5 states to resign 

By IANS

NEW DELHI: Heads have began to roll after the ballot Debacle in 5 states as Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi has requested state social gathering presidents to place of their papers. The social gathering suffered huge defeats in 5 states which went to polls in February and March.

Randeep Surjewala, General Secretary of the social gathering mentioned, “Congress President, Sonia Gandhi has asked the PCC Presidents of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa & Manipur to put in their resignations in order to facilitate reorganisation of PCCs.”

Those who’ve been requested to resign embody Navjot Sidhu (Punjab), Ganesh Godiyal (Uttarakhand), Nameirakpam Loken Singh (Manipur), Ajay Kumar Lallu (UP) and Girish Chodankar (Goa).

The determination comes two days after the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meet, which authorised Sonia Gandhi to undertake “necessary and comprehensive” organisational modifications.

“The CWC unanimously reaffirms its faith in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and requests the Congress President to lead from the front, address the organisational weaknesses, effect necessary and comprehensive organisational changes in order to take on the political challenges,” the CWC decision had mentioned.

The CWC assertion mentioned that the latest Assembly election outcomes of 5 states are a trigger of great concern for the Indian National Congress. The social gathering accepts that on account of shortcomings in our technique, we couldn’t successfully expose the misrule of BJP state governments in 4 states and overcome the anti-incumbency within the state of Punjab in a short while after effecting a change of management.
