Lucknow, July 26 - The Bharatiya Janata Party will not drop its Hindutva agenda at any cost, BJP president Rajnath Singh said here Sunday, adding there was no 'need for making those factors public' that led to the 'party's unsatisfactory performance' in the Lok Sabha elections.

'We are determined to follow the Hindutva agenda. Come what may, we will not leave it. We are committed towards Hindutva. We will not compromise with Hindutava, even if we have to wait for five-10 more years to assume power,' Singh said at the BJP's Uttar Pradesh working committee meeting.

'We started from the Hindutva ideology and will continue with it without any changes. We draw inspiration from Hindutva, which is not confined to any religion. It's a medium of spreading brotherhood across the country.'

Without naming any political outfit, Singh said some parties are hell-bent on projecting Hindutva in a bad light. 'The so-called intellectuals and secularists are giving a communal colour to Hindutva and are also working against the moral and traditional values of the country,' he said.

'We want to make it clear that we cannot compromise with moral values that make our country popular across the globe. For the sake of preserving the country's vaules, we can even sacrifice power.'

Admitting that the BJP's mandate had declined to an extent, Singh said: 'It's time to introspect what went wrong. We are analysing the factors behind the unsatisfactory performance of the party, but that does not mean we start making those factors public.'

'We need to take those factors into account and devise again the strategy for winning the confidence of people. If we consider the party's election results on all India basis, we find there is no need to feel dejected. We have emerged as the (main) opposition party and must utilise this opportunity to win confidence of the masses.'

Taking a cue from the Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, who had visited huts of poor people and also spent a night with a Dalit family, Singh said, 'Now, I also feel our leaders and workers should also spend nights in villages and get involved in direct dialogue with the public.
