Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)


The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is a right-wing political party in India, founded in 1980. The party is one of the two major political parties in India, along with the Indian National Congress. The BJP has a nationalist and conservative ideology, and has been associated with Hindu nationalism.

The BJP rose to national prominence in the 1990s, particularly after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya in 1992. The party has been in power at the national level since 2014, with Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India. The BJP has also formed governments in several Indian states.

The party's policies have focused on economic development, national security, and social conservatism. The BJP has launched several initiatives such as Make in India, Digital India, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and Jan Dhan Yojana. The party's flagship scheme, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, aimed at financial inclusion and banking for the unbanked population of India.

The BJP's rise to power has been marked by controversy, including allegations of Hindu nationalist extremism, suppression of dissent, and attacks on religious minorities. Despite these controversies, the party remains a dominant political force in India, with a significant presence in both the national and state-level politics.
