The message is in the backdrop of recent controversies over leaders washing dirty linen in public that showed the
party as a badly divided house after the poll debacle.

Singh is also likely to maintain that while BJP will not leave its Hindutva platform, the party will continue to
have good relations with the RSS.

The meet is expected to pass an all-encompassing political resolution which will cover the party's stand on
playing the role of a constructive opposition, taking collective responsibility for the poll debacle, the state of
the economy, India's foreign policy towards Pakistan, US, Australia and other countries, among other issues.

BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad will move the political resolution in the absence of Arun Jaitley, who is
in Europe on a vacation.
