BJP's 39th Foundation Day: 'BJP has become India's preferred party,' wishes PM Modi to cadres
Treading a long path since its formation in 1980, BJP which is the ‘world’s largest political party’ is celebrating its 39th Foundation Day and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has wished its cadre, stating ‘BJP has become India’s most preferred party.’
“39 years ago on this day, BJP was born with an unwavering commitment to serve society and take the nation to new heights. Thanks to the efforts of our Karyakartas, BJP has become India’s preferred party. Greetings to the BJP family on the Party’s Foundation Day,” tweeted PM Modi.
In 1980, under leadership of former PM Late Atal Bihari Vajpyee, Lalkrishna Advani among others, the Bhartiya Janta Party was formed, carving out itself from the Bhartiya Jana Sangh which was formed in 1951, under the leadership of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, who had dissented with Jawaharlal Nehru’s leadership.
