The panel to “evaluate the results of recently-concluded assembly elections” includes Ashok Chavan, Salman Khurshid, Manish Tewari, Vincent Pala and Jothi Mani. The other panel is headed by former Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, one of the most prominent faces of the G23. Tewari, who had campaigned for the party in the recently-concluded assembly polls, has also found a position for another key work. The presence of Azad, Tewari and Mukul Wasnik (he was given assembly election duty) also underlines the Congress’ efforts to bring back as many members of the G23 as possible. The Congress failed to win Assam, Kerala and Puducherry and drew a blank in West Bengal.
