After the various yatras and satyagrahas by party top guns, the BJP will now return to the grassroots with a six-month training programme, an 8216;8216;ideological war8217;8217; against pseudo-secularism.

The document prepared at the Goa Chintan Baithak, aiming at 8216;8216;restoring the primacy of ideology8230;at all levels in the party8217;8217;, will form the basis of the 8216;8216;ideological war8217;8217;, party vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Friday. While the document refrains from using the term Hindutva, the decisions are in keeping with the BJP8217;s post-election resolve of going 8216;8216;back to the basics8217;8217;. The 8216;8216;war8217;8217; will go on between September 25 and February 11, 2005.
