Mathur said that the Sangh supported me completely. I set up the Kisan Sangh while living in a garage. After that, I organized a big movement in 1984. I organized a rally of 128 tractors. The law was changed due to that movement. After that movement, my friendship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi grew.

After that Sohan Singh and Laxman Singh called me to Bharti Bhawan and asked me to meet Bhairon Singh. In 1990, they told me to keep working in BJP. I was given three tickets on our request. After that, I won thirteen seats. During that time, I was appointed as the organisation minister in BJP. I worked as the organisation minister in BJP for 12 years.

Mathur said that the structure collapsed in 1992, 5 governments were toppled. Elections were held in 1993. Bhairon Singh lost the election from Ganganagar but won the election from Bali. Worked with a skilled organizer. At that time, BJP did not even have candidates on 80 seats. Visited Rajasthan thrice on a motorcycle. That era was different. Established BJP in the state.

Mathur said that after becoming the Governor of Sikkim, he visited Sikkim regularly and held meetings with everyone. Along with the soldiers, the citizens living on the border also protect the border. The remote villages are being developed. Sikkim has poor connectivity. The work of roads in Sikkim was also given to NHAI. We have to do the work, but there should be someone to work, there is a lot of work to be done.

While addressing the program, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that Sikkim Governor Om Prakash Mathur has left an indelible mark on BJP workers with his style of working. He has worked to take every BJP worker forward and strengthen them in politics by giving them work. I am fortunate that I got the opportunity to work with Om Ji Bhai Sahab, wherever he was in charge, he invited me. Your affection with BJP workers is not hidden from anyone. The work you have done throughout your life regarding culture and ideology, you have touched heights while working as a worker. He is an ideal for all of us.

BJP State President Madan Rathore while addressing the program said that we have been together for almost 50 years. Om Mathur was born in a small village and worked like a disciplined soldier with determination by working hard continuously. During the emergency, he came from Bali to Pali to fill the jail and protested vigorously. Due to which he was put in jail and was tortured a lot. He is a fearless, courageous and hardworking person. He has set an example in whatever responsibility the party gave him. His work will always be an inspiration for the workers.

While addressing the program, former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said that Om Prakash Mathur is a leader connected with the workers of the state. Hot on the outside, soft on the inside, he made the impossible possible by making the lotus bloom in Chhattisgarh.
