| The Congress's crash in another set of state elections has led to a tough reevaluation - not by the party but by disappointed leaders.
After his sensational tweet recommending "major surgery" for the Congress, senior leader Digvijaya Singh admitted in an exclusive interview to NDTV today that the party needs a "major overhaul" in campaign strategy and social media, and also "fresh faces and fresh ideas".
He compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi - widely seen as the party's candidate for the top post though never official declared one.
"The difference between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi is that Mr Narendra Modi has got the gift of the gab," Mr Singh said.
Asked whether he felt the "gift" is missing in Rahul Gandhi, he said: "Even Indira Gandhi was never a great speaker, even Jawaharlal Nehru. But Indira Gandhi and Nehru had the vision - when they spoke, everyone listened. As far as Rahul Gandhi is concerned, he is developing."
The Congress yesterday lost Assam and Kerala. It is left with just one major state - Karnataka - and effectively rules over only six per cent of India.
The party and its allies now rule seven of India's 29 states. Six of these will hold elections by 2018.
