The Bharatiya Janata Party or "Indian People’s Party" were Sanjay’s brand of leaders. The BJP were tough, heavily armed right-wingers who had been running the Indian government since 1998. Sanjay was the BJP’s kind of movie star, a modern guy with big modern Indian muscle, great Indian clothes, cool Indian moon rockets, and extremely dangerous Indian atom bombs. Sanjay’s violent adventure movies always played well with these tense, nervy Indian superpatriots. Sanjay’s dad, who had won huge popularity playing Shiva in a TV soap opera, was a BJP member of the Indian Parliament.
