In a dilemma over usage of Hindutva as the core issue, BJP's top leadership discussed the importance of ideology for the party on the second day of their three-day brainstorming introspective deliberations in Shimla.
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.
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.
This view, however, is not shared by moderate sections, which want to win over more allies and reach out to voters who are reluctant to go with BJP because of Hindutva issue.
