During last 12 years of his life, he did a lot of organisational work for BJP and to spread the message & vision of his political ideology (he joined BJP in 1996) and Jajunda became instrumental in being the bridge between the party and the people.
In 1996, BJP recorded its first victory on Nagaur MP seat & grew from strength to strength. The long & untiring efforts of this man in his eighties fructified when 9 out of 10 MLA constituencies won by BJP in last Vidhan Sabha elections in 2003.
