When was BJP established?

The experiment of Janata Party against Indira was completely unsuccessful. This coalition government fell in 1979. After this, on 6 April 1980, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was established as a new political party in the country's politics and Atal Bihari Vajpayee became its first president. In 1984, after the assassination of the country's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, general elections were held in the country. In this election, BJP won only 2 seats. After this, in 1986, LK Advani became the president of the party. He started the Ram Janmabhoomi movement demanding the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

After the fall of Atal Vajpayee's government, who became PM for the third time in 1999, mid-term elections were held in the country once again in 1999. This time too, BJP got only 182 seats, but with the support of allies, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was successful in running the government for full five years.

The slogans of 'India Shining' and 'Feel Good' failed
