SHIMLA: In a dilemma over usage of Hindutva as the core issue, BJP's top leadership on Thursday discussed the importance of ideology for the party on the second day of their three-day brainstorming introspective deliberations here.
The party failed to corner Congress on 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The party's internal report spares none of the top brass.
BJP failed to set an agenda or even advertise an agenda. The party explains further why Jaswant was expelled from the party.
Against the backdrop of the party's poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP leaders discussed at a 'Chintan Baithak' as to what extent its ideology, particularly with regard to Hindutva, should be practised to boost its electoral prospects.
The party has been lately in a dilemma over the issue, with some factions favouring a hardline while some others a softer and "inclusive" Hindutva to expand its vote bank.
Internal report placed for discussion at Chintan Baithak perceived lack of unity amongst BJP leadership, poor alliance management which led to rout in Lok Sabha polls.
A section in the BJP feels that dilution of hardline Hindutva had led to confusion in the party cadres and cost BJP dearly in the recent Lok Sabha polls. In Haryana we gave the Cong a virtual walkover and in Delhi we lost the game even before it was played out, reports BJP.
