The Congress Party in Uttar Pradesh looks set to undergo a drastic overhaul post the election debacle in the state. In what comes as a surprise move, the party has entrusted senior leader AK Antony to lead a panel that will go into the causes of the party's rout in recent Assembly elections held in UP and Goa, besides the shock defeat in Punjab and the performance in Uttarakhand. The review committee, also comprising Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Union Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, is expected to give its report to party Chief Sonia Gandhi by the month end.
These first signs of changes in the party due to the poll impact carry implications of Antony's continuance in favour and status despite the Army chief row. It also reflects Sheila Dikshit's return to favour and a clear sign that Congress is eager to learn its lessons from the setbacks in the recent elections.
