The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is one of the two major parties in the political system of Republic of India, the other being the Indian National Congress (INC).[1][2] As of 2015, it is the country's largest political party in terms of representation in the national parliament,[3] and is the world's largest political party in terms of primary membership.[4] Established in 1980, the BJP's platform is generally considered as the right-wing of the political spectrum.[5] As of May 2016, 35 BJP leaders have held the position of a chief minister, out of which nine are incumbent. A chief minister is the head of government of each of the twenty-nine states and two union territories (UTs) (Delhi and Puducherry). According to the Constitution of India, at the state-level, the governor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given he/she has the assembly's confidence, the chief minister's term is usually for a maximum of five years; there are no limits to the number of terms he/she can serve.[6]

Of the 35 BJP chief ministers, nine are incumbent — Sarbananda Sonowal in Assam, Raman Singh in Chhattisgarh, Laxmikant Parsekar in Goa, Anandiben Patel in Gujarat, Manohar Lal Khattar in Haryana, Raghubar Das in Jharkhand, Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Madhya Pradesh, Devendra Fadnavis in Maharashtra, and Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan. Four of BJP chief ministers are/have been women — Sushma Swaraj in Delhi, Uma Bharti in Madhya Pradesh, Anandiben Patel in Gujarat and Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan. Holding the post since October 2001 (for Lua error in Module:Age at line 846: attempt to call method 'subtract' (a nil value).) until he became the Prime Minister of India in 2014, Gujarat's Narendra Modi was the longest-serving chief minister from the BJP. Karnataka's B. S. Yeddyurappa's first tenure as the chief minister lasted for only nine days, which is the least tenure among chief ministers from BJP; however, taking the total of all the tenures into consideration, Swaraj served as a chief minister for the shortest period of 52 days. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat of Rajasthan was the first chief minister from the BJP; however some BJP leaders had already been elected before as the chief minister while being a member of the Janata Party (JP), an amalgam of political parties which included BJP's predecessor Bharatiya Jana Sangh.[7] There have been four chief ministers from the BJP in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand each, whereas three BJP leaders have been the chief minister in Delhi, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh each.
