Even in the midst of celebrations at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata today, on the formation of the first ever BJP Government in West Bengal, we remembered all those BJP Karyakartas who laid down their lives in the service of an ideal greater than themselves. Their sacrifice is etched forever in the journey of the Party. Their courage will remain a source of strength for all of us.”
