total number of seats won by bjp in 2014
Indian general election, 2014 The results were declared on 16 May 2014, fifteen days before the 15th Lok Sabha completed its constitutional mandate on 31 May 2014.[13] The counting exercise was held at 989 counting centres.[12] The National Democratic Alliance won a sweeping victory, taking 336 seats. The BJP itself won 31.0% of all votes and 282 (51.9%) of all seats,[14] while NDA's combined vote share was 38.5%.[15] BJP and its allies won the right to form the largest majority government since the 1984 general election, and it was the first time since that election that a party has won enough seats to govern without the support of other parties.[16][17] The United Progressive Alliance, led by the Indian National Congress, won 60 seats,[4] 44 (8.1%) of which were won by the Congress, that won 19.3% of all votes.[1][18] It was the Congress party's worst defeat in a general election. In order to become the official opposition party in India, a party must gain 10% of the seats (54 seats) in the Lok Sabha; however, the Indian National Congress was unable to attain this number. Due to this fact, India remains without an official opposition party.[19][20]

Agra Sh훮h Jah훮n later shifted the capital to Delhi during his reign, but his son Aurangzeb moved the capital back to Akbarab훮d, usurping his father and imprisoning him in the Fort there. Akbarab훮d remained the capital of India during the rule of Aurangzeb until he shifted it to Aurangabad in the Deccan in 1653.
Bharatiya Janata Party Although the newly formed BJP was technically distinct from the Jana Sangh, the bulk of its rank and file were identical to its predecessor, with Vajpayee being its first president. Historian Ramachandra Guha writes that the early 1980s were marked by a wave of violence between Hindus and Muslims. The BJP initially moderated the Hindu nationalist stance of its predecessor the Jana Sangh to gain a wider appeal, emphasising its links to the Janata Party and the ideology of Gandhian Socialism.[10] This was unsuccessful, as it won only two Lok Sabha seats in the elections of 1984.[10] The assassination of Indira Gandhi a few months earlier resulted in a wave of support for the Congress which won a record tally of 403 seats, contributing to the low number for the BJP.[33]
