Oliver Dowden and Liam Booth-Smith singled out by angry candidates and aides.
Both are said to have backed an early election, with Dowden described as particularly influential.
Dowden was also criticised by one figure for backing an election before playing little part in the election campaign itself.
Sources say lack of preparation led to the “mass exodus” of senior MPs.
There is fury at pollsters they accuse of overstating Labour ’s lead and stopping key Tory messages from landing.
Big Labour leads meant that an early “kitchen-sink strategy” of throwing new policies and tax cuts at voters was largely ignored as irrelevant.
But several senior Tories even those who blamed Sunak for the decision to call a snap election suggested the timing had made little difference to the result.
