Rahul sounded the advice while discussing the current political scenario in the state with senior leaders, including AICC general secretaries K C Venugopal and Deepa Dasmunsi, KPCC president Sunny Joseph, UDF convenor Adoor Prakash, CWC member Ramesh Chennithala, MP Rajmohan Unnithan, and KPCC working president P C Vishnunadh.

Highlighting the victory of the UDF in all by-elections, Rahul said the party and leadership were now overconfident.
