Speaking to reporters at the party office in Panchkula, Khattar said, today, BJP is the world's biggest political party.
"We have covered 43 years of journey, and many workers contributed to taking the party to this level. We also saw many ups and downs," he said, adding that in 1984, the party had two Lok Sabha seats and later secured a majority at the centre while also forming government in several states.
Khattar said the BJP's policies and programmes have been appreciated by people and it remains committed to the upliftment of poor and weaker sections of society.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country has been progressing at a rapid pace, he said.
