Answer:
In
1980, the leaders and workers of the former Bharatiya Jana Sangh founded the
Bharatiya Janata Party with Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee as its first President.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) designates its official ideology and central philosophy
to be integral humanism.
The party labelled as 'Hindu Nationalist' and advocates social
conservatism, self-reliance as
outlined by the Swadeshi Movement and a foreign policy
centred around key nationalist principles.
Cultural nationalism or 'Hindutva' is an important element
of BJP's conception of Indian nationhood and politics. BJP wants full
territorial and political integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India, a uniform
civil code for all people living in the country irrespective of religion and
ban on religious conversion.
BJP became the political voice of the Ram Janmabhoomi
Mandir Movement, which was led by the activists ofViswa Hindu Parishad (VHP)
and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The party's platform is generally
considered as the right wing of the Indian political spectrum.
