He told party leaders that good planning ahead of the assembly polls would increase their chances of forming a government in the state.
"The country is passing through an alarming phase of crisis due to imprudent politics of PM Narendra Modi. In such a situation, we have to stand with the people and for their rights. Educate them about the failures of governments both in centre and the state. Develop an innate trustworthy bond in times of crisis,” he said.
