Udaipur: After being appointed as the Governor of Assam, former Leader of the Opposition, Gulab Chand Kataria, arrived at his hometown in Udaipur on Saturday. He was given a warm welcome at the Dabok airport.

Hundreds of BJP workers welcomed him with slogans in his support. Kataria was made to wear a Mewari turban brought into the city in a procession. An event was also organised in Govardhan Vilas area in his honour. Kataria said that a party runs not because of its leader but from its workers. Talking to the media, he said that he did not come from a family with a political background. “I joined politics for service and today I have got the responsibility of a consti- tutional post, so I will try to fulfill it well. A party runs with thousands and lakhs of its workers. PM Modi came after Atal Bihari- ji. After Bhairav Singh ji in Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje came. One who shows arrogance in politics, gets destroyed,” he said.
