How BJP Came to Power?
In 2014, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) formed the government after it had won 336 of the 543 seats during the parliamentary polls.
In 2019 general elections, the BJP again won a resounding victory as the party alone clinched 303 seats out of 543, yet as an alliance they took 353 seats.
Both, the 2014 and 2019 parliamentary elections, were contested under the leadership of Narendra Modi. He took the oath of office as India's Prime Minister for the first time on 26 May 2014 and was sworn in for the second time on 30 May 2019.
