The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is one of the two major political parties in India and has been the ruling party since the 16th Lok Sabha.

The national executive meeting of BJP held on 16 and 17 January 2023 saw the party reaffirm its faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and extend the tenure of BJP national president J. P. Nadda.[2][3]

Campaign

Abki Baar 400 Par (This Time for 400) is a political slogan used by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the 2024 general election.[4][5] The slogan refers to the ambition of winning 400 out of 543 seats in the Lok Sabha.[6]

The slogan has been used by the BJP in previous elections, including the 2019 general election with some changes. It has become a rallying cry for the party's supporters and a symbol of its political ambitions.[7]

The party has held political rallies in multiple states with national leadership including Prime Minister Modi, Party President Nadda and Amit Shah campaigning actively.[8][9][10]

Manifesto

The BJP proposed a 'GYAN' formula consisting of four segments - Garib (poor), Yuva (youth), Annadata (farmers) and Nari (women) in its manifesto.[11]

The Bharatiya Janata Party started a campaign to gather public recommendations and suggestions for the advancement of the State and the country, which will be incorporated into the party's manifesto for the 2024 general elections.[12][13]

A manifesto commitee was formulated headed by Rajnath Singh. Nirmala Sitharaman acted as the convenor, whereas, Piyush Goyal as the co-convenor.[14]


The party is currently conducting a public input campaign for the manifesto.[15]
