NGOs, here we come

If Jairam Ramesh once acted as the bridge between the Congress party and various civil society organisations, it’s the BJP’s turn to reach out to the NGO constituency now. The Mumbai-based Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, which will run courses to train future BJP leaders, will soon host a two-day meet for NGOs from all over the country. The party feels that the NGO constituency has always been at the forefront in protesting against the BJP’s “divisive agenda” and “hence must be sensitised to the party’s philosophy in the right spirit”.
