New Delhi, Apr 11: High profile BJP leader Pramod Mahajan does not consider his shift to party organisation from the government as a demotion. In fact, he finds it challenging and exciting with two crucial rounds of elections in the coming 15-16 months. "I don't agree with the view that government work is more challenging or that party work is less challenging. I can say these two are different kinds of work like men and women are neither equal nor unequal. They are different," he said in an interview.

He said that running a government department was definitely challenging but at the same time when you are dealing with election-bound four states which the BJP had lost five years ago was also equally exciting.

"In peace time government is more exciting, but during war (elections), the party is more challenging," he said adding that he finds himself busy as usual.
