Addressing party workers, Nadda said, "We should be proud that we are members of a party which has democracy at its core. It is the part where an ordinary worker coming from an ordinary family becomes the Chief Minister of the state and a worker like me becomes the president of the party.

"BJP runs on cultural nationalism. Other political parties run on dynasty. We have the ideology of 'Sabka Saath' and those people (Opposition parties) do politics only for 'vote bank'," he stated.
