"First of all, I would like to thank our top leadership--honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our national president Nitin Nabin, our honourable Home Minister Amit Shah, our general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh--who have given me such a significant responsibility. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I will always strive to live up to the expectations with which they have entrusted me with this role," he said. BJP MP Roopkumari Choudhary, who has been made National President of the Mahila Morcha, said the wing would continue to focus on women's issues. "We will certainly work towards upholding women's rights, dignity, and safety, addressing all aspects concerning them, as this is a significant responsibility.

Whether in the organisation or in governance, the BJP has consistently championed women's rights and dignity, ensuring they are upheld," she said.
