The Bharatiya Janata Party (means :Indian
People's Party) is one of the two Major
parties in the Indian Political System, the other being the Indian
National Congress.Established in 1980,
it is India's second largest political party in terms of representation in the Parliament
and in the various state assemblies.The
Bharatiya Janata Party designates its official ideology and central philosophy
to be”integral human ism”, based upon a 1965 book by Deendayal Upadhayaya. .The
party is labelled as “Hindu Nationalist”,and advocates Social
Conversion , 
self-reliance as outlined by the Swadeshi
Movement, and a foreign policy centred around key
nationalist principles. The party's
platform is generally considered as the right-wing of the Indian political spectrum. The
BJP led the national government along with a coalition of parties of the NDA from 1998 to 2004, with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister, thus making it the first
non-Congress government to last a full term in
office. Since its election defeat in the 2004 general elections, the BJP has
been principal amongst the opposition parties in parliament.

History
Bharatiya
Jana Sangh (1951-1980)
The Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) was founded by
Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee in 1951 to support
the Hindu nationalist cause. The party opposed the
appeasement policy of the Indian National Congress and was against
any compromise in the matters of national and cultural integrity, unity and
identity. It was widely regarded as the political arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. After
Mookerjee's untimely death in prison in 1953, during an agitation demanding the
effective integration of Jammu and
Kashmir into India, the entire burden of nurturing the orphaned
organisation and building it up as a nation-wide movement fell on the young
shoulders of Deendayal Upadhyaya. For 15 years, he remained
the outfit's general secretary and built it up. He raised a band of dedicated
workers imbued with idealism and provided the entire ideological framework of
the party. He groomed future political leaders like Vajpayee, Advani and others. However, the vast majority
of the party workers, including Upadhyaya himself were derived from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and
brought with them the patriotic fervour and discipline of the parent organization.The
Jana Sangh
won just three Lok Sabha seats in the first general elections
in 1952. However, it gradually increased its strength and by 1962 had become
one of the most effective opposition parties in India and seriously challenged
the power of the Congress in various north Indian states. Enforcing a uniform civil code for all Indians,
Barring the killing (and eating) of cows, abolishing the special statues
accorded to J&K and majorly promoting usage of the Hindi
language were some of the pivotal ideological key points of the
party.After 1967, The party entered into coalition with political organisations of similar
ideologies and political positions and formed governments in various states
such as Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and others. The
party was a major part of the political agitation against the emergency
(1975–77) imposed by the Indira Gandhi regime and thousands of its
leaders and workers were reportedly imprisoned across India. The party along
with many other political parties merged with the Janata Party
in 1977 to present a united opposition to the Congress.The Janata Party won
with a huge majority in 1977 and formed the government with Morarji Desai
as prime minister. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who had become the
leader of the Jana Sangh after Upadhyaya's death in 1967, was
appointed as the external affairs minister in the new government. The Janata
government did not last long, though. Morarji Desai resigned as prime minister,
and the Janata party was consequently dissolved. The BJS had devoted all its
political efforts to sustain the coalition and was left exhausted by the
internecine wars within the Janata Party.
Bharatiya
Janata Party (1980-)
In 1980, the leaders and workers of
the former Bharatiya Jana Sangh, founded the Bharatiya Janata Party with
Vajpayee as its first president. The BJP heavily criticised the Congress
government and its policies, and while it opposed the Sikh militancy that was
rising in the state of Punjab, it also blamed Indira Gandhi for biassed and
corrupt politics that instigated the militancy at national expense. Sikh Leader
Darasingh opines that Vajpayee thus "brought in Hindu-Sikh harmony”The BJP
was a major opponent of Operation Blue Star.The party was
amongst those who strongly disliked and openly protested the violence against Sikhs in Delhi that broke out
in 1984, following the assassination of prime minister Indira
Gandhi by one of her Sikh bodyguards. The BJP was left with only two
parliamentary seats in the 1984 elections; the party, however, had established
itself in the mainstream of Indian politics, and soon began widening its structure
and policies to attract young Indians throughout the nation. During this
period, Vajpayee remained central within the party as its president and as the
Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, but increasingly hard-line Hindu
nationalists began to rise within the party and define its politics.
Founders

| Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the first BJP Prime Minister of India (1998–2004). |
The BJP became the political voice
of the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir
Movement, which was led by activists of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad
(VHP) and the RSS, and was advocating for the construction of a temple
dedicated to Lord Rama in place of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya. Many believed, and still do believe,
that the site was the birthplace of the Lord, and that there was a temple long
before the Babri mosque was built
after the alleged demolition of the temple by Babar.They held that this
qualified the site as one of the most sacred sites of Hinduism, where a temple should be reconstructed.
The party under its president Lal Krishna Advani
invigorated the nation with various rath yatras and succeeded in creating a
popular protest amongst Hindus.
On 6 December 1992, hundreds of VHP
and BJP activists broke down an orderly protest into a frenzied attack, and
razed the mosque. Over the following weeks, waves of violence between Hindus
and Muslims erupted all over the country, killing over 1000 people. The VHP was
banned by the government, and many BJP leaders, including L.K. Advani were
arrested briefly for provoking the destruction. Although widely condemned by
many across the country for playing politics with sensitive issues, the BJP won
the support of millions of Hindus, as well as national prominence.Victory in
assembly elections of Delhi
in 1993 and Gujarat
and Maharashtra
in March 1995, and a good performance in the elections to the Karnataka
assembly in December 1994, propelled the BJP to the centre-stage. During the
BJP session at Mumbai in November 1995, BJP president L.K. Advani declared that Vajpayee would be the Prime Minister of India
if the BJP won the next parliamentary elections scheduled for May 1996. In that
election, the BJP emerged as the single largest party in the Lok Sabha and
Vajpayee became Prime minister. He, however had to resign within 13 days as the
BJP was unable to obtain the required majority.In the Lok Sabha elections held
in 1998 the National Democratic Alliance
(NDA) obtained a simple majority. This time, the BJP (NDA) had allied with the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra
Kazhagam (AIADMK) and the Biju Janata
Dal besides its existing allies, the Samata Party,
the Shiromani Akali Dal and Shiv Sena.
Among these regional parties, the Shiv Sena from the state of Maharashtra,
is the only party which shares a similar ideology with the BJP. Outside support
was provided by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). The NDA had a slim
majority, and Vajpayee returned as prime minister after the 13-day stint in
1996. But the coalition ruptured in May 1999 when the leader of AIADMK, Jayalalitha,
withdrew her support, and fresh elections were again held.On 13 October 1999,
the BJP-led NDA riding on a wave of popularity, following victory in the Kargil
war and major public support for Vajpayee, won 303 seats. The BJP alone had its
highest ever tally of 183. Vajpayee became prime minister for the third time,
and Advani became the deputy prime minister and Home Minister. This NDA
government lasted its full term of five years. Vajpayee and his economic team,
led by Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha continued the policies initiated
by the previous Congress government under P. V. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan
Singh.
The NDA government also facilitated
major privatisations of previously nationalised government corporations, the
implementation of World Trade Organisation guidelines, airline deregulation, foreign investment and ownership and allowed
private companies such as Mahindra World City and Reliance to build Special Economic Zones where property developers could build new cities with
high-standard infrastructure to manufacture and export products.The BJP and the
NDA met with an unexpected defeat in the 2004 general elections,
and failed to muster a parliamentary majority. Dr. Manmohan
Singh of the Congress Party and United Progressive Alliance succeeded
Vajpayee as prime minister.In May 2008, the BJP won the state elections in
Karnataka. This was the first time that the party had won Assembly elections in
any south Indian state. In the 2013 assembly election of Karnataka, BJP again
faced major defeat and lost its only south Indian state government to Congress
party. In the 2009 general elections, BJP again faced defeat and its strength
in Lok Sabha reduced to 116 seats. The unexpected defeat of BJP is attributed
to bad performance of the party in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh.

Ideology and political positions
The BJP is a political party that espouses integral humanism and Hindutva, which it describes as cultural nationalism which is dedicated to a harmonious society as opposed to Hindu nationalism. It supports strong national defence policies.
 |
| Former Prime Minister of India and BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee with Russian president Vladimir Putin in 2000. |
Hindutva :
The BJP expresses a commitment to Hindutva, an ideology developed by Hindu politician Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. It asserts that Hindutva is cultural nationalism, which favours India's heritage, civilisation and culture over Westernisation.
While critics allege that the party is antagonistic to religious
minorities, the BJP asserts that cultural nationalism naturally extends
to all Indians, including Muslims and Christians.
The BJP in turn accuses the Congress party of allegedly employing
so-called "pseudo-secular" political tactics that included giving
preferential treatment and appeasement of Muslims and other minorities
at the expense of Hindus, and promoting Western culture at the expense
of India's indigenous culture. The BJP criticises Congress and other
opponents for allegedly exploiting minorities and India's lower caste
communities by taking their votes for granted
Atal Bihari Vajpayee
considered the European concept of "secularism" inappropriate for his
interpretation of Indian culture, and places it in opposition to the
BJP's version of Mohandas Gandhi's doctrine of Sarva Dharma Sambhava, which the BJP considers as a traditionalised Indian form of secularism.He describes the Indian secular as follows:
Mahatma Gandhi describes the correct attitude towards religion as
'Sarva Dharma Sambhava', equal respect to all religions. The concept of
'Sarva Dharma Sambhava' is somewhat different from European secularism,
which is independent of religion ... We may say that the Indian concept
of secularism is that of Sarva Dharma Sambhava ... Sarva Dharma Sambhava
is not against any religion. It treats all religions with equal
respect. And, therefore, it can be said that the Indian concept of
secularism is more positive.The concept of Integral Humanism has always been a pivotal element of the BJP's ideology, the party's considerably right-wing stance comprises some aspects of modern conservatism, social conservatism, progressivism and enlightened nation,rawing much of the party's ideology from India's ancient culture and
values, a major source of guidance for the BJP. As per the party's
constitution,he objectives of the party are explained thus:
- "The party is pledged to build up India as a strong and prosperous nation, which is modern, progressive and enlightened in outlook and which proudly draws inspiration from India's ancient culture and values and thus is able to emerge as a great world power, playing an effective role in the community of nations for the establishment of world peace and a just international order. The Party aims at establishing a democratic state which guarantees to all citizens irrespective of caste, creed or sex, political, social and economic justice, equality of opportunity and liberty of faith and expression. The Party shall bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established and to the principles of socialism, secularism and democracy and would uphold the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India."
The BJP supports the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya at the site of the Babri Mosque. It advocates banning the killing of cows since the cow is considered as one of the Hindu Gods (in line with conservative Indian belief) and promotes the teaching of Indian culturalsubjects in schools and colleges. During the Vajpayee government (1998-04), Education Minister Murli Manohar Joshi ordered the incorporation of Vedic astrology as a subject in college curriculum and ordered other controversial changes to history curriculums determined by the NCERT.
Some members of the BJP-led Government of Karnataka have recommended the teaching of the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita
in schools. The BJP also supports banning religious conversions and
generally opposes Muslim and Christian missionary activities. Although
the BJP asserts that it respects the Constitution of India and secularism, some[which?] BJP leaders have called for a constitutional amendment that declares India a "Hindu Rashtra" (Hindu Nation).
On India's founding fathers, the BJP has expressly criticised India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, for his fabian socialism, pro-Muslim bias and mistakes in resolving the Kashmir dispute. The BJP has praised the role of India's first home minister Vallabhbhai Patel in unifying the country. Despite the fact that the BJP officially commemorates Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, and has Narendra Modi as a prominent leader in the party, it is often criticised as a party of the Hindu upper castes.
The BJP has been affected by the various criticisms against the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which has been criticised for being
anti-Muslim, fascist
in nature and for encouraging communal conflict. The BJP's affinity
towards the ideologies of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar has been equated with
criticism of Mohandas Gandhi, and allegations against the RSS that it
endorsed Gandhi's killing have also impacted the BJP. While the RSS
strongly denies these allegations, it has often criticised Gandhi for
appeasement of Muslims and for consenting to the partition of India.
However, the BJP vehemently denies being anti-Gandhi or anti-Muslim,
defends its ties with the RSS and in turn criticises its political
opponents with allegations of appeasement and exploiting the votes of
minorities and lower castes.
Economic policies
The BJP and its predecessors opposed Marxism
and the socialist economic policies of the Congress party, which has
ruled the Republic of India for most of its history. However, it
espoused Swadeshi,
or the promotion of indigenous industries and products as opposed to
foreign imports and the establishment of friendly trade relations with
foreign nations, thus remaining protectionist. During its tenure, the
Vajpayee government continued the free-market reforms and economic
liberalisation that was initiated in 1991, and oversaw a period of rapid
economic growth after years of stagnation.
Concurrently, the BJP-led government invested in major infrastructure development projects such as the Golden Quadrilateral network of national highways and launched a major effort to attract foreign investment and introduce free trade. Despite the emergence of a burgeoning middle-class,
the BJP lost the 2004 elections over criticism that it neglected the
needs of India's poor in favour of Indian industrialists and mercantile
classes.
Defence and terrorism
The BJP is seen as supporting a strong national defence policy, which
includes a modernisation of India's armed forces and a strong nuclear deterrence. It supports the full integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India by revoking its "special status" granted in the Indian constitution.
The Vajpayee government oversaw Pokhran-II
- five nuclear tests in May 1998 and the tests of multiple ballistic
missile systems. The Vajpayee government also ordered the Indian armed
forces to take all measures to expel Pakistani infiltrators who had
occupied territory in Indian administered Kashmir, in what became known as the Kargil War.
Although the Vajpayee government was later criticised for the
intelligence failures that failed to detect Pakistani infiltration, the
decisive response and success of military operations bolstered its
popularity and image of toughness on national security. After the 2001 Indian Parliament attack,
Prime Minister Vajpayee ordered the mobilisation of India's armed
forces along India's border with Pakistan, but tensions were later
defused.
In response to the December 2001 terrorist attacks on the Indian Parliament, the BJP-led government passed the Prevention of Terrorism Act
(POTA), which significantly expanded the scope of intelligence
operations and the authority of police forces to detain suspects. The
measures were criticised by the Congress and other opposition parties,
which criticised the law as targeting India's Muslims. As a result, a joint session of Parliament had to be called to enable the bill to pass. It was later repealed by the Congress-led government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The BJP has continually criticised the Congress government's response to terrorist attacks perpetrated in India as being weak and ineffectual.
Foreign policy
Historically, the BJP has criticised the Congress-led governments that brought India closer to the Soviet Union and the Communist bloc, although technically non-aligned.[clarification needed] During its tenure, the Vajpayee government oversaw major improvement in Indo-U.S. relations, precipitated by the 2000 visit of U.S. President Bill Clinton to India. After the September 11th attacks, India expanded its cooperation with the United States in fighting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, and in turn received greater investment, trade and military aid.
Although expected by most observers to take a hardline approach in
foreign policy, the Vajpayee government took steps to improve relations
with India's traditional rivals, Pakistan and the People's Republic of China. In 1998, Vajpayee made a landmark visit to Pakistan, inaugurating the Delhi-Lahore Bus service. Although the Lahore Declaration
was signed to improve relations in the aftermath of the 1998 nuclear
tests, Pakistan's infiltration into Kashmir was discovered only three
months later.After several years of hostility and tensions, Vajpayee again initiated a peace process in 2002 by inviting Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to Delhi and Agra,
but talks were inconclusive. In 2003, Vajpayee renewed the peace
process over Kashmir by calling a ceasefire by Indian security forces
and initiating talks with Pakistan again.
Party structure
The highest authority in the party is the president and the BJP
constitution provides for a three-year term for that office. Recently,
both Venkaiah Naidu and LK Advani resigned ahead of schedule due to factionalism and controversies. Rajnath Singh held this post from 2006 to 2009, he was succeeded by Nitin Gadkari.
Beyond this, there are several Vice-Presidents, General-Secretaries,
Treasurers and Secretaries. The National Executive consists of an
undetermined number of senior party leaders from across the nation, who
are the highest decision-making body in the party. At the state level, a
similar structure is in place, with every state unit being led by the
respective president, who also officially serves a three-year term.
The rank-and-file leadership of BJP is largely derived from the leading members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its millions of affiliates. It also maintains friendly relations and links with other Sangh Parivar organisations, such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Swadeshi Jagaran Manch (an organisation promoting economic protectionism).Other groups directly affiliated with the RSS include the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), which is the students' wing of the RSS, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, their peasants' division and the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, which is their labour union, Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad, their Advocate/lawyer's Association.BJP also maintains the BJP Mahila Morcha, which is its women's division, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, its youth wing, the BJP Minority Morcha, its Minority division and many other similar organisations, including the BJP Legal & Legislative Cell.
BJP in various states
As on May 2013, BJP is in power in four states (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Goa) where the party enjoys a majority of its own. In two other states — Punjab and Nagaland — it shares power with other political parties of NDA coalition. The party was in the co-government with BJD in Orissa. BJP has earlier ruled Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Arunachal Pradesh and till recently Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Jharkhand.
