Who is this?
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP; lit. 'Indian People's Party') is a conservative political party in India and one of the two major Indian political parties alongside the Indian National Congress. BJP emerged from Shyama Prasad Mukherjee's Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Since 2014, it has been the ruling political party in India under the incumbent prime minister Narendra Modi. The BJP is right-wing to far-right on the political spectrum, and it has close ideological and organisational links to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing paramilitary volunteer organisation. The party's policies adhere to Hindutva, a Hindu nationalist ideology. As of March 2026, it is the country's biggest political party in terms of representation in the parliament as well as state legislatures. The party's origins lie in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which was founded in 1951 by Indian politician Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, after he left the Hindu Mahasabha to form a party as the political wing of the RSS. After the Emergency of 1975–1977, the Jana Sangh merged with several other political parties to form the Janata Party; it defeated the then-incumbent Indian National Congress in the 1977 general election. After three years in power, the Janata Party dissolved in 1980, with the members of the erstwhile Jana Sangh reconvening to form the modern-day BJP. Although initially unsuccessful—winning only two seats in the 1984 general election, it grew in strength on the back of the Ram Rath Yatra in Uttar Pradesh. Following victories in several state elections and better performances in national elections, the BJP became the largest political party in the Parliament in 1996; however, it lacked a majority in the lower house of Parliament, and its government, under its then-leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lasted for only 13 days. After the 1998 general election, the BJP-led coalition known as the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) under prime minister Vajpayee formed a government that lasted for a year. Following fresh elections, the NDA government—again headed by Vajpayee—lasted for a full term in office; this was the first non-Congress government to do so. In the 2004 general election, the NDA suffered an unexpected defeat, and for the next ten years, the BJP was the principal opposition party. Narendra Modi, then the chief minister of Gujarat, led the party to a landslide victory in the 2014 general election. Modi has since led the NDA government as Indian prime minister, including being re-elected with a sole majority in the 2019 general election and with a coalition in the 2024 general election. As of May 2026, the NDA alliance governs 20 Indian states and 2 union territories. The official ideology of the BJP is integral humanism, first formulated by Deendayal Upadhyaya in 1965. The party advocates social conservatism and a foreign policy centred on nationalist principles. During its first period in national government, the BJP avoided its Hindutva priorities, and focused on a

Assam: BJP-linked political play shows demolition of minority family’s house A Bharatiya Janata Party-linked political play during the election campaign in Assam drew criticism for portraying a Muslim family's house demolition, while the audience laughed at the depiction. A video of the performance surfaced on social media on Tuesday, May 5. A cardboard-made bulldozer vehicle, moved by the actors, was seen razing a house shed, shown as belonging to a family. The play depicted children, women and men with skullcaps and dhotis, clearly indicating a Muslim family, while t

Outsider here: What shifted beneath the surface in West Bengal politics? I’m not from Bengal, so trying to understand this better from people who’ve seen things up close. From the outside, it always felt like Mamata Banerjee had a very strong grip over West Bengal politics, which is why this outcome seems a bit surprising. What really changed on the ground this time? Was it anti-incumbency building up, local governance or corruption issues, or the rise of Bharatiya Janata Party? Or are there factors that people outside the state tend to miss entirely? Also, how
