Read in 5 points what Nandkumar Sai said after taking membership.
1. This decision is a very difficult decision in life. I and my family members have been in BJP since the time of Jansangh. Have been with people like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani. Used to follow Atal ji.

2. The BJP party of the era of Atal and Advani. That party is no longer in that form. Circumstances have changed. Chhattisgarh had small villages and towns. I have studied the work of Bhupesh Sarkar. Small villages and towns now became cities.

3. We used to say that there is a relation of the whole country, cow is our mother. But CM Bhupesh Baghel has given it a new look. Narva, Garva, Ghurva, Bari scheme has proved effective for the public. I liked that Bhupesh Sarkar made Ram Vanagaman Path.

4. As on date, I was not holding any post in BJP. I was a simple worker. Even if you do not get a post in the party, but how can work be done. This could have been asked.

5. Congress is doing good work under the leadership of Bhupesh Baghel. Party is not important, work has to be done for the general public. Chhattisgarh will be better if we work together.
