He said the Youth Congress is the backbone of the party and asked its leaders and workers to extend their support to honest and dedicated youths who can serve better to the people through this basic institution of democracy.
He said that PDP and BJP who are ideologically and politically opposed to each other in all their fundamental issues and approach displayed the sheer lust for power to join hands leaving aside all their important commitments to their respective electorates.
