BOMBAY, Wednesday (Reuters) India's Hindu nationalist opposition, still licking its wounds after last month's election defeat, aims to plot its political comeback on Wednesday with the unveiling of plans for state polls due over the next year.

The Bharatiya Janata Party vowed to go "back to basics" and return to the Hindu nationalist agenda on which it rode to prominence in the 1990s after an unsuccessful attempt to claim the political centre ground. On the second day of a three-day national executive meeting in Bombay on Wednesday, the party is expected to decide its political strategy for polls in five states due by the middle of next year.

"The party will discuss the political strategies to be adopted to fight the coming state elections," said BJP spokesman Manvendra Singh.The meeting would vote on a political resolution to set out its strategy and its views on the way India is being run by the new centre-left Congress-led government, Singh said.
