Rahul unhappy with internal rift, says some leaders preferred personal interest

The decision was announced on Thursday after the party's top brass headed by AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge held a review meeting to deliberate on the "unexpected" results.

Former party chief Rahul Gandhi, AICC general secretary organisation KC Venugopal, AICC senior observers for the polls Ashok Gehlot and Ajay Maken, as well as AICC secretaries for the state, attended the meeting at Kharge's residence. AICC in-charge of state Deepak Babaria joined the meeting online.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Venugopal said a fact-finding committee would be formed to examine the reasons behind the party's poor show in the elections. "The committee will speak with party candidates and leaders to detail the reasons for the unexpected results," he said.
