3. Introduction to political party BJP Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) is one of the two major political parties present in the Indian Political system which falls under the government of democracy and also today it is the second largest political party in terms of representation in the Parliament of India. BJP is present all over India and so it is a party present at national level. BJP follows the socio- religious cultural values of the country’s Hindu majority. The Party led a national partnership government where various parties other than congress joined BJP and formed NDA ( National Democratic alliance ). The central philosophy of the party is Integral Humanism (for welfare of the people).

4. History of BJP Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) is a successor of Bharatiya Jana Sangh which was founded in 1951 by Syama Prasad Mukherjee. Later in the year 1980 BJP was formally established and found its name under the leadership of Shri. Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Shri. Lal Krishna Advani .  The NDA government governed the country from 1998 to the year 2004 with Shri. Vajpayee as the Prime Minister . The BJP began to have electoral success in 1989, when it capitalized on anti-Muslim feeling. By 1991 the BJP had considerably increased its political appeal, capturing 117 seats in the Lok Sabha and taking power in four states . The recent time NDA government governed was from 2014 till present with Narendra Modi as Priminister. Criteria for the formation of the political party:- BJP is formed on Religious and communal feelings as it draws inspiration from Hinduism. In its first two decades the party's major holds were in north India's Hindi speaking regions, because this party supported turning Hindi into the national language of India.
