Congress high command emissary Vayalar Ravi who left for Delhi on Friday after completing his four-day fact-finding tour, would be submitting his report on the party’s prospects in the state to AICC chief Sonia Gandhi in a day or two.

Stating this, Mr. Ravi said he would be visiting the state again sometime next week. “I have talked to all concerned, I gathered a lot of information on the ground realities, toured some of the constituencies and held review meetings with the leaders,” he said.

Earlier, Mr Ravi, along with AICC secretary K.B. Krishnamurthy, who arri-ved here on Friday, held a lengthy meeting with Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana.

According to sources, Mr Ravi told the state Congress leadership to be more cautious as the bypolls would be crucial for the party’s future.

“We have to win at least some seats, otherwise we will have a loss of face. Things should not go wrong, you have to be more careful and take everyone along,” he told the state party leaders.

The Union minister told them that he received complaints against both the PCC chief and the CM from party leaders. Before leaving for Delhi, he asked Mr Krishnamurthy to remain stay put till his return.
