Chauthaiwale further said that Nabin shared insights into the BJP's journey, ideology, organisational structure and its people-centric approach to political engagement.

The BJP president explained the party's organisational model from the national level to the booth level and highlighted the importance of BJP karyakartas in maintaining a direct and continuous connection with people at the grassroots, he said. "During the interaction, the RSP delegation was keen to know BJP's membership process, candidate selection system and the party's mechanism for identifying and connecting with grassroots workers," Chauthaiwale said.

"Responding to their queries, Nabin explained how BJP's organisational strength is built through continuous public outreach, booth-level engagement and participation of ordinary citizens in the democratic process," he added. Chauthaiwale said Nabin also highlighted the development-oriented governance model under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"He said that development, service, good governance and welfare delivery have remained central to BJP's public outreach and governance approach," the party's foreign affairs department in-charge said.
