From correspondents in Delhi, India, 09:31 PM IST

Enthused with the people's verdict in favour of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), the Congress party Saturday said it will hold a meeting of the party's working committee to discuss its performance and prepare the future strategy for staking claim to forming the government.

'CWC (Congress Working Committee) will meet tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon to discuss and deliberate on the future plans,' Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi told reporters here.

Congress has indicated that the party would like to form the government with its present UPA allies along with secular parties who are not with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena.

The Congress will also be holding a meeting of its parliamentary board after its victorious parliamentarians reach Delhi.
