Bengaluru: After the embarrassing defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress is going through its toughest phase. The party's national president Rahul Gandhi himself is on the lookout for leaving his post. At the party meeting, he has said that no one is willing to take responsibility for the defeat. Other party leaders are keeping quiet on the defeat. In Karnataka, the Congress has blamed the ally JDS for the defeat. Senior JDS leader HD Deve Gowda is deeply hurt.
