BJP's 44th Foundation Day: Leaders greet party workers on its 'Sthapna Diwas'

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is celebrating its 44th Foundation Day today i.e. Thursday, April 6. The saffron party officially came into existence on April 6, 1980. Emerging from the Jana Sangh formed by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee in 1951, the party merged with some other political outfits to form the Janata Party in 1977.

After three years, the Janata Party was dissolved and its members formed the Bharatiya Janata Party with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as its first president. The party formed its first government at the Centre in 1996 under the prime ministership of Bajpayee.
