Defiant Tanwar not to resign; sets up committee

Under fire for party's drubbing in the Lok Sabha election, Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar Friday asserted he would not step down from the post and said he had constituted a committee to deliberate on the upcoming assembly polls.

On being asked whether he would step down as Haryana Congress president on the lines of former party chief Rahul Gandhi, a defiant Tanwar said, "I am still working."
Suggesting that the loss of the party in the general election is a "collective responsibility", he questioned other leaders without naming them, "Who else had offered his life to Congress like him?"
