Bharatiya Janata Party

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP ) (Hindi: भारतीय जनता पार्टी, Bharatiya Janata Parti; German: Indian People's Party ) is a right-wing, Hindu nationalist party in India, which since its creation in 1980, within twenty years one of the strongest parliamentary forces has grown and has temporarily outstripped the Congress Party. The BJP is registered as a national party of India. Between 1998 and 2004 it formed the government in India with Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee. From 1977 to 1980 its predecessor Bharatiya Jana Sangh party has been involved in the alliance of the Janata Party, but she left again due to ideological opposites. Party leader Rajnath Singh has since 2013.

The BJP is ideologically connected a composite of the Hindu nationalist Sangh Parivar organizations. This includes acting as a national Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh volunteer corps and the self-proclaimed World Council of Hindus Vishwa Hindu Parishad. The two organizations shall, together with the Bajrang Dal a rebel youth organization in the riots in Mumbai and in other parts of the country in the years 1992/93; this had spread after the destruction of the Babri mosque in the northern Indian Ayodhya. This is especially the former party president, interior minister and deputy prime minister Lal Krishna Advani earned a reputation as a hardliner.

The BJP and its Hindu nationalist sister organizations are thought to cause waves of violence between Hindus and Muslims, who regarded the western Indian state of Gujarat in the spring of 2002 for months in breathing. Furthermore, she made a stir by attempting to change the textbooks in terms of a Hindu nationalist interpretation.

However, they did not meet the concerns expressed in advance of their choice. As a leading member of the National Democratic Alliance, she focused primarily on processes of liberalization, the foreign policy stylization of India as a world power, such as with nuclear weapons, and encouraged the resumption of the peace process with Pakistan.

The defeat of 2004 was based on the poor performance of their alliance, which was, inter alia, bad government styles at the state level, especially its allies returned, the Gujarat pogroms and probably for the most part on the catastrophic miscalculation regarding the impact of their campaign India Shining. Especially the poorer population could be difficult to identify with this.
