Congress on Wednesday appointed senior leaders to five states to assess the poll debacle and suggest organisational changes by consulting MLAs and important leaders.
Party president Sonia Gandhi appointed Rajani Patil (Goa), Jairam Ramesh (Manipur), Ajay Maken (Punjab), Jitendra Singh (Uttar Pradesh) and Avinash Pande (Uttarakhand). Except for Ramesh, who was the Manipur special observer, all others were screening committee chairpersons.
