Addressing party workers on the occasion, Piyush Goyal said the BJP stood apart from other political formations due to its internal democratic processes and strong organisational coordination. "We are members of the world's largest political party. Political activities take place all over the world, but no other party has a process as democratic as ours, or the level of coordination we maintain," Goyal said. He credited the party's grassroots workers for strengthening the organisation and ensuring its continued growth nationwide. "The credit for this goes to the party workers.
