NADDA WRITES TO BJP WORKERS ON COMPLETION OF FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE

NEW DELHI: BJP president J P Nadda on Tuesday lauded the party's recent victory in a number of state and local body polls and set the target of "historic" wins in the next round of assembly elections, in an open letter to party workers to mark the completion of his first year in office. Nadda, who had taken over from Home Minister Amit Shah on January 20 last year, also praised the party's welfare work during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the letter, the BJP chief slammed the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal as "dictatorial" and alleged that over 300 saffron party workers have been killed in the poll-bound state in the last few years.
