BJP is the party that’ll provide more opportunities in the service of people. Multiple parties are there but I see the BJP as a party with nationalistic fervor.”
Highlighting PM Modi’s governance as the main reason behind his decision to join BJP, he stated: “I have seen five to six PMs and their governance but I have witnessed a lot of things change especially between 2014 to 2022 as our PM says ‘Minimum Government Maximum Governance’. I am convinced that this is the only party that’ll keep our nation forward.”
