New Delhi: The BJP’s website is back online after over a fortnight with a new look and extensive focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.
The website that became fully functional Thursday also has special mentions of BJP veterans L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, who were dropped from the party’s list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections.
The first page of the website is dedicated to Modi and a link on the page takes the users straight to the home page of PM Modi’s website.
The journey of BJP chief Amit Shah finds place on the second page of the website. It is one of the most carefully crafted pages on the site with minute details of Shah’s life — there are pop up infographics on the most significant years of his life and information about his likes, dislikes, hobbies and other interests. The page contains a picture of Shah with a priest in a temple. Links of Shah’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts are also on the page.
The next page is dedicated to Syama Prasad Mukherjee, founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, a precursor to the BJP. The next page features four of BJP’s former presidents — late prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Joshi, Advani and Kushabhau Thakre.
Information on BJP’s achievements, strength in Parliament
The site gives details of the work done by Modi government in the last five years, how many states the NDA rules and the party’s strength in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The schemes of the Modi government have also been highlighted through the website in an attempt to showcase the welfare works done in certain fields. Farmers, women, youngsters and ‘healthy’ India are the four distinct categories highlighted on the website.

Connecting to voters
The last page of the website makes an effort to connect voters to the party. It is dedicated to those who wish to join the BJP, be a party volunteer or make a donation.
‘NaMo’ merchandise also has a special corner in the midst of all the organisational details mentioned on the website.
The BJP that boasts of being digitally ahead of others has finally managed to come up with its website with a new design 15 days after it was allegedly hacked. On 21 March, the IT department of the BJP did a trial run of the website and put up the lists of the candidates declared for the Lok Sabha elections.
“We will be back soon,” was the message that was prominently displayed for about 15 days on the website.
While the IT head of the party, Amit Malviya, had maintained that it was a technical glitch that led to redesigning of the website, social media cell in-charge for Lok Sabha elections Shyam Jaju had maintained that the ‘hacking’ appears to be the handiwork of the opposition — someone who would benefit from disrupting the functioning of the website.
When asked about the alleged hacking, Jaju had earlier told ThePrint the BJP has been digitally way ahead of its competitors and rivals. “It had to be someone who benefits from hacking (the website) before the polls. Dusre kisi ka kaam nahi (it’s no one else’s job),” he had told ThePrint.
Sources in the BJP had told ThePrint that efforts were being made to redesign the website.
The Congress had taken a dig at the BJP for not being able to reload its website after the alleged hacking. “morning @bjp4india we realise you’ve been down for a long time now. If you need help getting back up, we’re happy to help,” the party had tweeted.
