BJP Government in India List: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) originated from the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, founded in 1951 by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. After the state of emergency in 1977, it merged with other political parties to form the Janata Party, which successfully defeated the Congress party in the 1977 elections. However, after three years in power, the Janata Party dissolved in 1980, leading to the reconvening of former Jana Sangh members to establish the BJP.
Due to their victories in various state elections and notable showings in national elections, the BJP became the largest parliamentary party in 1996, although it initially lacked a majority. Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government lasted only 13 days. As of 2025, the BJP is ruling in 19 states independently while supporting governments in 4 states and one union territory. The party recently achieved significant victories in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi.
