BJP to Sing Vande Mataram at 15,000 Centres in Kerala
A political party in India called the BJP is planning a big celebration for Independence Day.
Independence Day is when India remembers becoming a free country.
The party wants people to sing a famous patriotic song called 'Vande Mataram' in 15,000 places across a state called Kerala.
This song is very important to India's history of becoming free.
The party's leader in Kerala, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, told everyone about the plan.
At each place, the Indian flag will be raised and the whole song will be sung.
The BJP says this is to show love for the country and keep everyone united.
The party also said some other political parties are helping people who want to hurt India.
This event is part of a much bigger plan, with similar events held in many places across India.
Kerala BJP will organise singing of the full 'Vande Mataram' at 15,000 centres across the state on Independence Day.
State BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar announced the programme in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday.
Events will include national flag hoisting at booth, panchayat, constituency and district level centres.
The initiative is part of a nationwide BJP campaign planned at lakhs of locations.
Chandrasekhar accused CPI-M and Congress of lending political support to forces he described as hostile to the country.
