 Advani joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1942. He became


a pracharak (full-time worker) of the Karachi branch and developed
several shakhas there. After Partition, Advani was sent as a pracharak to Matsya-Alwar
in Rajasthan, which had witnessed communal violence following Partition. He worked
in Alwar, Bharatpur, Kota, Bundi and Jhalawar districts until 1952.[6]
 Bharatiya Jana Sangh[edit]
 Advani became a member of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, also known simply as the Jana
Sangh, a political party founded in 1951 bySyama Prasad Mookerjee in collaboration with
the RSS. He was appointed as the secretary to S. S. Bhandari, then General Secretary of
the Jana Sangh in Rajasthan. In 1957, he was moved to Delhi to look after the
Parliamentary affairs. He soon became the General Secretary and, later, President of the
Delhi unit of the Jana Sangh. After the 1967 elections, he became the leader of the city's
Metropolitan Council. He also assisted K. R. Malkani in editing the RSS
weekly Organiser, and became a member of the national executive in 1966.[6]

 He became member of the Rajya Sabha from Delhi for the six-year tenure from
1970.[7] After serving various positions in the Jana Sangh, he became its President in
1973 at the Kanpur session of the party working committee. His first act as president of
the BJS was to expel founder member and veteran leader Balraj Madhok from primary
membership of the party for supposedly violating the party directives and acting against
the interests of the party. He was a Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat from 1976 to
1982.[7] After the Indira Gandhi's Emergency, the Jana Sangh and many other opposition
parties merged into the Janata Party. Advani and colleague Atal Bihari Vajpayee fought
the Lok Sabha Elections of 1977 as members of the Janata Party.

 Janata Party to Bharatiya Janata Party[edit]


 The Janata Party was formed by political leaders and activists of various political parties
who had been united in opposing the state of Emergency imposed in 1975 by then-Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi. After elections were called in 1977, the Janata Party was formed
from the union of the Congress (O), the Swatantra Party, the Socialist Party of India, the
Jana Sangh and the Lok Dal.Jagjivan Ram split from the Indian National Congress,
bringing a small faction known as the Congress for Democracy with him, and joined the
Janata alliance. The widespread unpopularity of Emergency rule gave the Janata Party
and its allies a landslide victory in the election. Morarji Desai became the Prime Minister
of India, Advani became the Minister of Information and Broadcasting and Vajpayee
became the Foreign Minister.

 The erstwhile members of the Jana Sangh, quit the Janata Party and they formed the
new Bharatiya Janata Party. Advani became a prominent leader of the newly founded
BJP and represented the party in the Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Indian
Parliament) from Madhya Pradesh for two terms beginning in 1982.[4][7]
