The five-member committee includes Salman Khurshid, Manish Tiwari, Vincent Pala and Jothi Mani.
Maharashtra Congress leader Ashok Chavan on Thursday said "introspection and feedback" were necessary for the evaluation of the party's performance in the recent Assembly elections. Mr Chavan, a minister in the Maharashtra government, is heading a committee set up by Congress president Sonia Gandhi to evaluate the party's dismal performance in elections in Assam, West Bengal, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The committee is holding meetings with leaders of the states where elections were held, he told PTI. "We held discussions with Congress Legislature Party leaders, state unit presidents and AICC in-charge in the respective states today. We will talk to elected MLAs and other candidates who fought on party ticket in the next two days," Mr Chavan, a former chief minister of Maharashtra, said.
The NCP (SP) candidates who defeated their NCP rivals included Jitendra Awhad who defeated Najeeb Mulla in Mumbra Kalwa.
Jan Suraaj candidates failed to make a significant impact, finishing third in three constituencies and one in the fourth position.
Police arrested Deepak Max, 20, caught after an encounter by Crime Branch, while Krish Gupta, 18, by local police from the same area.
The prime minister said the Maharashtra election also shows that only one Constitution will work in India and that was given to the people of the country by B R Ambedkar.
The Prime Minister said the Congress' outsized interest in its own welfare is a "threat to democracy".
