He urged party leaders, cadres and the NSU to gear up for the second-round of election scheduled for June 28. "Students can play a significant role in creating public wave in favour of the party in the election and I personally and in respective of the capacity of party president expect support and dedication from all NSU students towards that end."

He urged the party student wing to do their best to help party win the civic confidence in the election. 

NSU President Nain Singh Mahar said the NSU had the felt the necessity of organising this type of programme as the party failed to see a success as per the expectation in the first-phase election. RSS
