Amazing recognition for an amazing career.
Lovely recognition.
Dear Piyush
I feel proud to see the heights you have reached.
I am a keen follower of BJP and its ideologies.
I wish to get involved with the Programmes and
Activities of BJP on a regular basis.
Can you advise me whom to approach and
How to go about it.
I DO NOT wish to get into politics but work
Behind scenes.
Look forward to your suggestions
Regards
Sarojini Sharma
