A day ahead of the party's national council, Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, including former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, met in New Delhi on Tuesday to finalise the resolution to be adopted at the conclave and decide on a new team.

BJP president Lal Kishenchand Advani and other leaders, including Jaswant Singh and Venkaiah Naidu, met at Vajpayee's residence for about an hour.

At the first conclave after Advani took reins of the main opposition party, a resolution, which is expected to lay emphasis on rashtravad (nationalism), will likely be adopted, sources said.

The document is likely to focus on the issue of internal security and in this regard will seek to find faults with the United Progressive Alliance government's handling of the matter, they said.

The resolution is likely to ignore the controversial Hindutva issue, the sources added.

However, Advani's presidential address is expected to make up for it, they said.
