New Delhi: The four-member A.K. Antony panel which went into the reasons of worst-ever poll debacle of the Congress submitted its report to party president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday. All the four members of the panel, Mr Antony, Mr Mukul Wasnik, Mr R.C. Khuntia and Mr Avinash Pandey met the Congress chief and submitted to her the voluminous report.
Apart from giving a condensed over-all report on the Congress’ poor show nation wide, the multi-volume report has also focused on specific states incorporating the discussions held with their leaders on the reasons for the defeat and the recommendations of the panel, the sources said.
The report is unlikely to be discussed in the CWC, sources said. But it will help Mrs Gandhi in taking corrective steps.
Sources said that the recommendations are not critical of the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, which has been speculated in a section of media.
Though there was no official confirmation on this count, sources indicated that instead of being critical of the leadership, the report talks about the manipulation of media coverage by the BJP and the controversial role played by the media, the lacunae in Congress campaign vis-à-vis the blitzkrieg of Narendra Modi’s election campaign and organisational weaknesses of the party.
