New Delhi: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday skipped the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) meet chaired by the Sonia Gandhi to mark the 25th death anniversary of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Rahul's absence from the youth Congress meet has raised concern within the Congress camp after its poll debacle in four states especially in Assam where the party was thrown out after being in power for 15 years.
In Kerala, too, the Congress-led United Democratic Front lost to Left Democratic Front while in Tamil Nadu the party in alliance with the DMK failed to dislodge J Jayalalithaa's AIADMK from power.
However, the Congress-Left Front alliance was decimated by the Trinamool which retained power with a bigger mandate than the 2011 elections.
Sources said, he is likely to resume party duties from Monday and will meet party leaders to analysis the poll debacle.
Ever since Congress faced a massive defeat in four states, there is a growing discontent among the party leadership. Senior party leader Digvijaya Singh on May 19 called for a major surgery.
