Congress leader Sunil Jakhar said today that the party's disastrous Punjab campaign was a combination of "compounding one mistake after another" and bad choices driven by senior leaders "misleading" the Gandhis. Reeling off a long list of problems that he said "could have been handled otherwise", Mr Jakhar said the defeat was "scripted by Harish Rawat"; the former Uttarakhand Chief Minister was Punjab in-charge.
