Party sources said Randhawa received mixed feedback with some praising the government while others targeted its functioning.

Manish Yadav, who lost from the Shahpura assembly segment to Independent candidate Alok Beniwal in 2018, told reporters that the government's backing of the Independent MLA had weakened the party organisation in the area.

He said all works of the Independent MLA were done but the Congress workers did not get weightage.

Randhawa received similar feedback from other party candidates who had lost to Independents, the sources said. The feedback towards the government was also negative from the six constituencies where the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) secured victory.

The six BSP MLAs defected to the Congress in 2019. The government also has the backing of 11 of the 13 Independent MLAs.

Subhash Meel, who lost from Khadela to Mahadev Singh, said those who voted for the Congress were being ignored.

The party's Rajasthan unit chief Govind Singh Dotasra was also present at the meetings.

Randhawa is scheduled to meet ministers on Thursday night.
