Discussions were also held on the atmosphere of confusion being created by the opposition…,” Bihar unit chief Dilip Jaiswal told reporters.
On the party’s poll preparations he said, “We will organise Vidhan Sabha workers’ conference in all the assembly constituencies. It has been decided to form an election campaign committee in Bihar for the upcoming elections... We will go door-to-door and talk about the development that has happened under the leadership of PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar. This meeting was not about seat sharing. The central leadership will take the decision on seat sharing...” he said.
