With the Congress facing a massive beating in the Delhi assembly polls, with early trends showing that the Grand Old Party has been unable to secure a single seat, dejected party workers and supporters were seen outside the Congress office chanting slogans ‘Priyanka lao, party bachao'.

Tuesday early trends showed that the AAP had raced to victory while the Congress had witnessed a severe electoral drubbing. Ever since the Lok Sabha elections last year, the Congress has been suffering defeat after defeat, with many workers within the party demanding a change in leadership.

In the past, many Congress leaders had voiced their support in favour of Priyanka Gandhi, asking that she take a more active role in the Congress and be a part of the party’s leadership.
