- List_of_chief_ministers_from_the_Bharatiya_Janata_Party abstract "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). Established in 1980, the BJP's platform is generally considered as the right-wing of the political spectrum. As of August 2013, 29 BJP leaders have held the position of a chief minister, out of which five are incumbent. A chief minister is the head of government of each of the twenty-eight 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.Of the 29 BJP chief ministers, five are incumbent—Raman Singh in Chhattisgarh, Manohar Parrikar in Goa, Narendra Modi in Gujarat, Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Madhya Pradesh, and Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan. Three of BJP chief ministers are/have been women—Sushma Swaraj in Delhi, Uma Bharti in Madhya Pradesh and Raje in Rajasthan. Holding the post since October 2001 (for 700112000000000000012 years, 7002297000000000000297 days), Modi is 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. There have been four chief ministers from the BJP in Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand, whereas three BJP leaders have been the chief minister in Delhi, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh each.".
