Vande Mataram Resolution
Editorial Analysis
Why This Matters
The meeting comes at an important stage for the BJP's organisational preparations ahead of upcoming elections. With the party seeking to strengthen its grassroots network, booth-level mobilisation and communication with voters are expected to remain central to its strategy. The Vande Mataram resolution also adds a wider political dimension to the BJP's current organisational exercise, as the issue has become part of the party's confrontation with the Congress.
The BJP meeting also saw the passage of a resolution concerning the historical legacy and honour of Vande Mataram. According to the party, the resolution strongly condemned the Congress Working Committee's decision to revive a 1937 arrangement under which the singing of Vande Mataram at Congress programmes was limited to its first two stanzas.
The BJP said it would not accept what it described as attempts to compromise the honour and historical legacy of Vande Mataram for political convenience, appeasement or vote-bank considerations.
BJP national president Nitin Nabin had earlier said the party would undertake a nationwide campaign to take the history, meaning, national significance and legacy of Vande Mataram to people across the country.
The issue has become a fresh political point of debate between the BJP and Congress, adding a political dimension to the party's organisational discussions.
