The Bharatiya Janata Party has grown into the world’s largest political party. It now has 14 crore members, a fact recently reiterated by BJP National President JP Nadda.
The party has 2 crore active members, 240 MPs, 1500 MLAs, 170 MLCs, and governments in more than 20 states under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Nadda stated that in the past 11 years, Modi’s leadership has delivered performance and accountability. He added that earlier governments were marked by corruption, family politics, non-performance, and appeasement.
Highlighting key achievements, the BJP president said the government abrogated Article 370, built the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, amended the CAA and Waqf Board, and abolished triple talaq. He also said India is moving from being the fourth largest economy to aiming for third place.
The party traces its roots to Shyam Prasad Mukherjee’s Bharatiya Jana Sangh and maintains alignment with the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS). The Bharatiya Janata Party was formally founded on 6 April 1980.
