Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Kamal Nath called on Sonia Gandhi on Saturday to discuss the political situation and issues pertaining to Madhya Pradesh.
The meeting gains significance after the bypoll results in which the party has performed well in some states.
Ahead of assembly elections in five states early next year, the Congress is trying to put its house in order in Uttrakhand, Punjab, Goa, Manipur, and UP. The party is trying to put up a serious challenge against the BJP and the SP in Uttar Pradesh.
Congress has asked all the chiefs of its units/in-charges in states where by-polls were held on October 30 to send a report on the party’s performance.
Congress has sought a detailed analysis of the results of the by-elections in the states and also the reasons for the victory and defeat.
