Kavinder Gupta, while welcoming new entrants into the party fold said that the parties like National Conference, Congress and PDP took full liberty to enjoy the privileges of the power corridors, but did nothing to empower grass root level democracy. He said that these parties always tried their best to deprive the far flung areas from the development and modernization so as to keep them as their bonded labour which is always handy at the time of elections. These parties have to answer the big questions of these belts.
Ashok Kaul, claimed that the policies of the BJP leadership led by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi are being appreciated by one and all and that is the reason that almost daily, active social and the political personalities are coming forward to embrace the party to serve the masses.

They said that they felt really impressed by the way the Modi Government is taken decisive steps for the promotion of development activities in border areas.
