BJP trains workers in RSS way

Following in the footsteps of its parent organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) completed a three-year orientation course for its cadre last week.

Around 50 workers at the district level completed the course at Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP) at Uttan in Thane.
“The idea behind the course was to train the active workers in the party’s ideology, practical ways to work as a political party and ways to help the organisation to grow,” Ravindra Sathe, director of RMP said.

“There were sessions on BJP’s ideology, policies, economic policies, interaction with media and communication skills. Now, we can say that the first batch of BJP’s trained workers has passed out. The party has decided to run the course at the national level too,” Sathe said.

In RSS, the workers are trained in the organisation’s ideology in a three-year course. The workers have to gather for 21 days per year for the course. This practice is going on since 1940.
