According to reports, the controversy started because the Congress party has decided to sing only the first two stanzas of the song during their various party events.

He claimed that this whole move by the Congress is actually being driven by vote-bank politics. The BJP chief suggested that the party is making these choices to cater to specific political interests.

The accusation regarding the use of the term "new Muslim League" highlights the intense political tension currently surrounding the Vande Mataram row. The BJP president's comments on Thursday have added a new layer to the ongoing debate involving the Congress party's approach to national symbols and their political strategies.
