After being decimated in five state elections, the Congress's top decision-making body, the Congress Working Committee or CWC, met here on Sunday.

The Congress has been completely wiped out in state election results declared on Thursday, losing Punjab, one of the last major states under its control, to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

It also failed to put up a strong fight in three other states where it had hoped for a comeback - Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur.

In Uttar Pradesh too, where senior leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra heavily campaigned, the Congress got just 2 seats out of 403, a loss of 5 over the last polls. The party got just 2.4 per cent of the vote.
