TOP POINTS
Our mantra has been “Vyakti Se Bada Dal Aur Dal Se Bada Desh”.This tradition continues to this day. We fulfilled Shyama Prasad Mukherjee’s vision (of one India), scrapped Article 370 and gave Kashmir the constitutional right: PM Narendra Modi on BJP’s 41st foundation day
Parties that began with help from local aspirations, became a family-based party later.
These parties, who were wearing a mask of secularism, are finally being unmasked!
BJP means defeating dynasty-based politics. It means an opportunity to able leadership.It means transparency and good governance. It means ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas’.
The BJP has always worked on the mantra of ‘the party is bigger than the individual’ and the ‘nation is bigger than the party’.
This tradition has continued since Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee and runs till date.
Foundation day programmes
To mark the foundation day, various programmes will be organised at the booth level and glorious history, evolution, ideology and commitments of the party will be discussed through webinars at state and district levels.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was founded as Bharatiya Jana Sangh by Syama Prasad Mookherjee in 1951. Later it was merged with several parties in 1977 to form the Janata Party.
In 1980, the National Executive Council of the Janata Party banned its members from being ‘dual members’ of the party and the RSS.
Consequently, the former Jana Sangh members left the party and floated a new political party. Thus, the BJP came into existence on April 6, 1980.
