BJP Government in India List: 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.
