The Congress on Sunday admitted that the results of the assembly elections in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur are a cause of concern but there's no call for a change in the party's leadership as every member of the party – the Congress leaders addressing the press meet stressed on the unanimous nature – expressed their trust on the leadership of Sonia Gandhi. The Congress Working Committee requests the Congress President to lead from the front, effect necessary and comprehensive organisational changes in order to take on the political challenges, the statement issued after the meeting read.
The question of leadership was crucial apart from the deliberation on the party's performance in the assembly election as several reports were claiming a change in the leadership, or a strong proposal in favour of it coming from the revel grouping.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said there were a lot of deliberations in a free and frank manner. "Every sentence spoken by every member of the Congress Working Committee is not open to media. One thing every single member unanimously agreed is that they have absolute faith in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi. She should continue as the president of the party until the election is conducted. And there shall be no wisp of anything otherwise," Surjewala said.
