The Jana Sangh’s first major campaign, begun in early 1953, centred on a demand for the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India. In 1975, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed a state of emergency. In 1977, the emergency was withdrawn and general elections were held. The Jana Sangh merged with parties from across the political spectrum, including the Socialist Party, the Congress (O) and the Bharatiya Lok Dal to form the Janata Party, with its main agenda being defeating Indira Gandhi. The Janata Party won a majority in 1977 and formed a government with Morarji Desai as Prime Minister. In April 1980, Janata Party banned its members from being ‘dual members’ of party and the RSS. In response, the former Jana Sangh members left to create a new political party, known as the Bharatiya Janata Party led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He added that the BJP has earned that credibility and has never compromised on the basic principles and ideology.
