READ: Congress debacle in 2014 vs Congress disaster in 2019, seat by seat comparison of party's performance in Lok Sabha elections

Congress Working Committee met following party's drubbing in Lok Sabha elections as it won 52 seats, winning just eight more seats since 2014 polls. Congress president Rahul Gandhi's resignation was not accepted in meeting, despite party's poll debacle, as  'party needed him'. 

party under Gandhi's leership not only lost  elections but failed to become a strong opposition to BJP owing to it winning just 52 seats.  voters did not seem to take well to Rahul Gandhi's digs at Prime Minister, constant mention of Rafale deal and allegations of corruption, sloganeering of 'Chowkidar Chor Hai'. party's manifesto promises, be it NYAY or proposal to dilute AFSPA and action against sedition law, and zero concrete measures against corruption did not go down well with Indian electorate. 

While party saw a colossal defeat in Karnataka, one state it also held on to following assembly elections in a dysfunctional coalition with JD(S), it continued its hold over Kerala winning more seats since previous general elections. It performed well in Punjab and Tamil Nu compared to 2014.  While it maintained status quo in a few states, it lost its hold in several ors.  party has been wiped put from se states and Union Territories - Rajasthan, Andhra Presh, Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Presh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Delhi and Dra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Lakshweep, Manipur, Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura.
