New Delhi: In the wake of Congress’ pathetic show in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi are likely to offer resignations from party posts.
According to sources quoted by media reports, the mother and son are expected to quit, owning accountability for the Lok Sabha election disaster, in the Congress Working Committee meeting on Monday.
On Friday after the announcement of Lok Sabha election results, both Sonia and Rahul had accepted responsibility for the Congress' defeat.
"Congress has done pretty badly, a lot for us need to think about it. As vice-president, I hold myself responsible," Rahul Gandhi had said.
While Sonia Gandhi said, "The people's verdict is against us... As Congress president I take responsibility for the defeat."
Congress, which won 206 seats in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, only managed to secure 44 seats this time.
