‘Ab Ki Baar 400 Paar’ may have its genesis in a heated debate between Jawaharlal Nehru and Syama Prasad Mookerjee, when the latter warned Nehru he would crush his 'crushing mentality'.

On 21 October 1951, delegates from all over the country congregated for a convention in central Delhi to form the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Its later avatar is now ruling dozens of Indian states.
Bharatiya Jana Sangh was one of the most vocal critics of the Congress government, but it didn’t mince words in supporting PM Nehru when he dealt with China.
