Yadav, who had also been appointed IYC chief last year, resigned as Youth Congress president earlier this month, taking moral responsibility for the poor electoral showing in the Lok Sabha polls. A number of middle-rung and some senior leaders have resigned their posts in the Congress following the Lok Sabha poll debacle. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also quit as Congress president , but the Congress Working Committee, the highest decision-making body of the party, is yet to decide his successor. Though Rahul has resigned as Congress president, the party still considers him as its chief.
