Bharathiya
Jana sangh which had its birth on October 21st 1951 merged
and became part of Janatha party in the year 1977 keeping
national interests in mind after the draconian emergency clamped
by Mrs.Indiragandhi and democracy was strangled. But the Janatha
experiment failed and the erstwhile Jana sang took rebirth
and on April 6th 1980 Bharathiya Janatha Party was formed.
Shri.Atalbihari Vajpayee became its first president. |
