Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday (August 3) said that the BJP was not a dynastic party citing his example to assert that a worker who once stuck posters can become its national president. He asked party workers to focus on the booths and connect to the common citizens. His remarks came while addressing the one-day convention of the BJP in Nagpur.
"The BJP is not a dynastic party but a party of karyakartas (workers). A worker who used to put posters for campaigning became the party's national president and such a feat can happen for a common worker only in the BJP," a release quoted him as saying.
"Focus on the booth level and take all along, those who voted for us and also those who did not," said Gadkari, who has often spoken about his rise from the ranks, which included pasting party posters in the early days of his political career.
