He said that BJP was the only political party that does what it promises.
Jagat Prakash Nadda said present Central Government was committed to make India a ‘Vishav Guru’.

He said even students of Pakistan succeeded in getting out of Ukraine by hoisting the Indian Flag on their vehicles.
This was the picture of changing India and was possible only due to the strong leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he added.
