Amid chants of "PM, PM" at the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters in New Delhi, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday did little to camouflage his ambitions for a national role saying he will work hard to shoulder any responsibility the party gives him.

"As a BJP worker, whatever responsibility is given to me by the party I will fulfill them. In the past, whatever responsibilities have been given to me, I have shouldered them with full dedication," he said in response to a rousing welcome at the party headquarters on his first visit after his hat-trick.
