He said, “Our aim in Uttarakhand is to secure more than 50 per cent votes in all the booths and register victories by a margin of more than five lakh on all the five Lok Sabha seats. This is why we are welcoming those who imbibe the party’s ideology and principles,” Bhatt said. The BJP’s State election management committee convenor and Rajya Sabha member Naresh Bansal said that the BJP is a cadre based party.
