State president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Nalin Kumar Kateel said here on Friday the party will not yield to any pressure tactics from people to become Ministers and to get rewarded with positions in the government.
Addressing party workers at the district office after felicitating six-term MLA S. Anagara on being accommodated in the State Cabinet, Mr. Kateel said that one will have to work sincerely for strengthening the party and the “organisation” to get rewarded. There is no short-cut to get positions.
