Shah also cited some examples to highlight how BJP was a party with a difference.
"BJP is the only party which launches andolan (agitation) not keeping in mind some personality but on issues concerning poor and masses," he said and referred to the Ayodhya agitation and recent campaign to surrender gas subsidy so that poor could get LPG connections.

"BJP is the only party where election takes place on time within the organisation," he added.

Praising the Modi government, Shah said the government has set a target to provide bank accounts to 60 crore people who are still deprived of it, even after 70 years of Independence.
"So far 27 crore bank accounts under Jan Dhan yojna have already been opened," he said.
On appeal of the PM, over 1.37 crore people have already given up subsidy on LPG to help poor get LPG connections, Shah said.
Earlier, the BJP chief talked to state party leaders at the party office. New Bihar BJP President Nityanand Rai, Sushil Kumar Modi, and Union Ministers Radha Mohan Singh and Ravishankar Prasad were present there.
