The BJP is the successor party of the BJS, which merged itself into the Janata Party in 1977. The BJP was formed as a separate party in 1980 after internal differences in the Janata Party resulted in the collapse of it's government in 1979. Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was the leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh from 1953 to 1968. The very first session of BJP in December 1980 in Bombay, was presided over by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The BJP and its allies came to power in 1999 and formed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), under the leadership of Shri A B Vajpayee and Shri L K Advani.
