According to him, there will be discussions on better coordination between the party and the government, so that the outfit's cadres can be involved more in taking the government programmes to the grassroots level and help them reach the beneficiaries.

Also, the ministers and legislators will be told to give time to the party workers to understand the challenges, address their grievances, if any, and coordinate with them to work at the booth level.

The brainstorming is also aimed at tackling the discontent among some party workers and legislators.

A few legislators had often expressed their displeasure over not having been made ministers despite some Cabinet berths lying vacant for a long time.

Against the sanctioned 34 ministerial posts, there are 29 ministers presently, while five are vacant.
