The BJP claims that they are the biggest nationalist but the leaders of BJP party do not know the national anthem properly. An example of this was seen in the Howrah assembly where the national anthem was sung incorrectly.

TMC Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday slammed BJP leaders for 'not singing the national anthem properly' at a rally at Kolkata's Howrah Dumurjala Stadium.

Terming it an 'anti-national' act, the leader of the ruling party of West Bengal demanded an 'apology' from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the BJP.
