The new BJP President hailed PM Modi's leadership during the last decade or so while also lavishing praise on his predecessors JP Nadda, Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh for strengthening the party and connection with ground level workers.

“In the Bharatiya Janata Party, the organization is not merely a system, but a sacred tradition. Today, my election as the National President of @BJP4India is an honor bestowed upon the extraordinary journey of an ordinary worker and a firm resolve for service,” he said in a post later.
