The state BJP leadership has been asked by the RSS chief to concentrate on strengthening morning shakhas.
After two rounds of discussions with state BJP leaders, Mr KS Sudarshan told them that the number of morning shakhas should be increased as it would help build a strong cadre base.
Front-ranking state BJP leaders, including chief Mr Tathagata Roy, were present at yesterday’s and today’s meetings with Mr Sudarshan, who will leave for Durgapur and Raiganj tomorrow.
Reports of organisational activity in the past few months were submitted at the meeting. The RSS Sarsanghachalak reviewed the activities of the 35 associate and fraternal organisations, and party sources said he has asked state BJP leaders to be more active in the districts because recent RSS activities in rural areas have “yielded results”.
The upshot of the meeting was, however, instructions from the RSS chief to strengthen shakhas and rope in as many “like-minded” people as possible to combat the Communists. Persuasion will centre around ideology rather than public issues. The BJP has been asked to mobilise people for shakhas primarily through individual contacts and influences.
Besides this, the state BJP leadership has been asked to review organisational achievements and lapses and to monitor the party’s growth in the city and districts through weekly meetings.
It is learnt that Mr Sudarshan has
asked the state BJP leadership to use the mouthpiece Jagaran to reawaken
Hindus in Bengal. The BJP, in fact, has already cranked up the propaganda
machine — Bengal’s RSS unit has grown in the last three years “from 1,100
shakhas in 1999 to 1,445 now”, the state unit claims.
