Work has been done in many sectors like railway, roads and air connectivity to develop Bikaner but a few things are yet to be done. BJP is an organisation and cadre-based party, the party workers will support those candidates whom the party chooses and as we say, 'Fir ek baar Modi sarkar, ab ki baar 400 paar'."
