Cong leadership 'vacant' after Bihar,UP poll debacle

Lucknow, Nov 16 (UNI) Double whammy of poll debacle in Bihar assembly elections and abysmal performance in by polls to seven assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh has put the leadership of the Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in tight spot.
The two electorally important states together return as many 119 MPs to Lok Sabha. Though there is no protest, the Congress leaders are questioning the hands-on role style of functioning of Priyanka in Uttar Pradesh as it has so far failed to make impact on the electoral fortunes of the party in the largest state.
The Congress remains a fringe player in the electorally most significant state in the country, and in the seven recent by-elections to the UP assembly, its candidates lost deposits on four seats. It garnered just 7.53 per cent vote-share, but did finish second on two seats, Bangarmau and Ghatampur. The state of the organisation of grand old party in UP, and its ability to contest the election can be gauzed from the fact that the nomination papers of the Congress candidate for by poll to Tundla assembly seat was rejected as the papers were not in order.
