Topic: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

The Bharatiya Janta Party or the BJP is India’s biggest national party and currently rules the country. It was formed in 1980, though its origins lie in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which was founded in 1951. The BJP has been in power since 2014, with Narendra Modi as India’s prime minister – the longest-serving non-Congress PM.

The BJP is known to be right-wing in its political and economic ideologies. Its ideological fount is the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or the RSS, and many of its top leaders were youth leaders in the RSS. The BJP, as of March 2024, is in power alone or in alliance in more than 18 of the 28 states in the country.
