India’s current government is led by the Bharatiya Janta Party or the BJP. It is also the country’s largest national party. It was formed in 1980, though its origins lie in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which was founded in 1951. The Jana Sangh was closely associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization that continues to play a significant role in shaping the BJP’s ideology.
The party first came to power at the center in 1996, but its government lasted only 13 days. It returned to power in 1998, forming a coalition under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister. His tenure saw India conducting nuclear tests in 1998, economic reforms, and a focus on infrastructure development. However, the BJP lost power in 2004 to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
The BJP made a historic comeback in 2014 by securing 282 seats out of 543 in the Lok Sabha, with Narendra Modi as India’s prime minister. Major policy changes include the revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019, and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 that criminalized triple talaq in India.
The government’s handling of several protests and crises has faced widespread scrutiny. The 2020–2021 farmer protests, which were sparked by the controversial farm laws that were later repealed, drew significant public attention, with criticism directed at the use of force and the management of the situation. Similarly, the government’s response to the 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests raised concerns over its handling of dissent, particularly the use of force. The BJP’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic also attracted criticism, especially regarding the lack of transparency around the death toll, shortages of medical resources like oxygen cylinders, and inadequate preparedness during the second wave.
Additionally, the ongoing inter-tribe conflict in Manipur, which erupted in 2023, has faced criticism for the government’s perceived failure to take adequate action, with accusations of poor crisis management and insufficient intervention in addressing the escalating violence.

Siddharamiah has shut down Lokayukta, was forced to shutdown steelflyover by people, has scant respect for NCLT and only has policies to attract minority communities.
We all are very interested to know that policies implemented in first two years on Power. Only the last year as a face saving measure all the policies are being implemented to brainwash.
Dividing religon for his own benefit does not good.

The Print is from Shekhar Gupta ex. NDTV hence we cannot rely on this article as we all know NDTV is biased and anti-BJP.
Focus on the authors comments and introspect. But that you cannot do because what he has written is the truth!
Anti-BJP is not being biased. An unbiased reporter would naturally be anti-BJP because BJP is venom.
Idiotic comments
Congress ka paid bhadava
Truth is bitter. Try to argue against the points made by the author though it is beyond you.
ha ha ha Good one.
Language will be a constraint for the BJP’s star campaigners in Karnataka. Difficult to create the magic of spell binding oratory if an interpreter is at work. BSY is also coming across as something of an albatross. A national party would necessarily be judged by its performance on the national canvas.
