BJP's strategy to pit Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay against Tagore backfired: Congress

Congress criticized the BJP's attempt to pit Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay against Rabindranath Tagore, stating it backfired. The party reminded the BJP that Rajendra Prasad had already granted Vande Mataram equal status to the national anthem in 1950. This comes after a parliamentary debate on the national song's 150th anniversary.
