BJP RISING:SAFFRON WAVE
The saffron wave hit India mid-2014 has reinforced BJP dominance in Indian politics.It all started with BJP won 2014 assembly election with a single party majority in the Lok sabha riding on the popularity of Narendra Modi ,then chief minister of Gujarat.The BJP is one of the major political party in India along with Indian National Congress. In 2016, BJP became world's largest party in terms of primary membership. BJP is right-wing party. BJP ideology links to Rashtriya swayamsevak sangh.
The ideology of BJP is "internal humanism". The BJP advocates social conservatism to Hindutva. Key issues of BJP includes abolition of special status of jammu & kashmir ,building of Ram temple in Ayodhya and implementation of uniform civil code.
BJP came into existence after the state of Emergency when Bharatiya jana sangh, formed in 1951 merged with several other parties to form Bharatiya janta party (BJP). BJP defeated Congress party in the 1977 general election . After three years of power , BJP dissolved in 1980. After 1998 general election ,BJP-led coalition known as the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) formed a government under Prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for a year. In may 1998, India conducted five underground nuclear test in Pokhran desert in Rajasthan. The test was held just a month after Vajpayee government had been in power. In result RUSSIA,FRANCE,JAPAN,BRITAIN,CANADA,US imposed sanctions on India but the sanctions failed completely ,something that was planned and executed by Vajpayee administration.
Following fresh election,the NDA government again headed by Vajpayee,lasted for full term.In the 2004 general election the NDA suffered an unexpected defeat .
For the next ten year BJP remained in opposition but a new leader in Gujarat was making its way to the throne of New Delhi at very high pace. His high quality decisions and development model was becoming famous all over India , he was none other than Narendra modi who took the charge of BJP lead NDA to landslide victory in 2014 elections.Now mr. Modi is leading NDA government as Prime minister and as of till date BJP alliance governs 17 states.
BJP has always been party which had produced great speakers, quality leaders who possess quality of making hard decisions ,like Atal Bihari Vajpayee,Lk Advani , Rajnath Singh,Nitin Gadkari,Uma Bharti, Narendra Modi etc.
In this list a new name is making it's place without his name BJP rising would had not been possible. He is not other than BJP party president Amit shah . In july 2014 BJP appointed Amit Shah as party president and he was re elected in january 2016 again.Amit Shah spearheaded all the campaigning since 2014. His own electoral record has never seen defeat since 1989. Amit Shah has fought 28 local bodies election, he has never lost an election.Under his leadership BJP became the world's largest party . During 2014-2016 BJP has successfully formed government in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand, Assam but lost in Delhi and Bihar legislative election.
In 2017 assembly election BJP won Uttar Pradesh and Uttrakhand. BJP won highest ever seat 325 out of 403 under his leadership.Also BJP was able to make headway into manipur and Goa. Also in july 2017 BJP was able to break MAHA GATHBANDHAN in Bihar and became alliance partner in the state.
Political parties accused Amit Shah of conspiring against MAHA GATHBANDHAN in Bihar and he was playing lead role in break off. Amit Shah should take it as compliment. Amit shah tactics of "MODI VS ALL" has worked and BJP should not deviate from this tactics.
From hear any party can not afford to do is underestimating the tenacity, mobilising capacity and tactical skills of BJP president Amit Shah.
