Accepting that his party had weakened in the state, the Congress leader lamented that organistion workers ran after power instead of working for the benefit of poor people.

''Greed and sycophancy would not be tolerated in Congress anymore..those, who still want to run after power can join any other party,'' Mr Singh warned.
