Indore:
The three-day BJP national conclave near Indore gets into the thick of action today. Senior leader Arun Jaitley will move a resolution on national security.
For the first time, the party will also take a stand on environment with a presentation by Murli Manohar Joshi.
Nitin Gadkari had made it clear to BJP leaders on Wednesday that infighting and factionalism - issues that have riven the party and caused it great political damage - will not be tolerated. (

In the presence of senior leaders like L K Advani, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, Gadkari minced no words to say:
* command respect, don't demand it
* problems are created by big leaders, not small workers
* perform or perish
The new man in town, the BJP's youngest-ever president, has set the agenda for not just the on-going three-day executive meet, but the party at large. A course correction is on in every direction.
