Speaking after inaugurating a workshop on the working of Panchayat Raj institutions organised by the Rajiv Gandhi Panchayat Raj Sanghatan, he said the party can grow in strength only if the workers reach out to people. An effective strategy is needed for this purpose, he added.

The elected representatives should interact with the people and respond to their woes, he suggested.

The party workers are active in Karnataka.They should give top priority to strengthen the party. They should keep pace with changing times and adopt technology, he added.
