Rahul Gandhi begins exercise to analyse UP poll outcome

                                                                              
NEW DELHI: With the Congress debacle in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls coming as a jolt, Rahul Gandhi today began the task of analysing the outcome to make the party battle-ready ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in 2014.

Gandhi, who led the party in the crucial polls, held parleys with party candidates who lost despite securing more than 20,000 votes, party sources said.

The two-day exercise, which was earlier scheduled to take place last week, has been launched as part of a move to set the house in order with UP having a crucial role for the party.

Newly elected party MLAs as also MPs from the state have been called tomorrow for the much-talked about meeting, the first formal review of the UP polls by Gandhi, who has owned up responsibility for the defeat.
