BJP Website Back Online With Candidate List After 15 Days

The website was reportedly hacked on 5 March. However, no hacker group had claimed responsibility for it.

As many as 15 days after the official website of the Bharatiya Janata Party – http://www.bjp.org/– was taken down after it was allegedly hacked, it was up and running again on Thursday, 21 March.

However, the website currently only sports a graphic showing PM Modi and party President Amit Shah and BJP’s first candidate list, which was declared earlier in the day.

In fact, a tweet by the party’s official handle about the candidate list had a link to the website.

The Central Election Committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party has decided the names of 184 candidates for the ensuing General Elections to the Parliamentary Constituency of different States. The list is available at https://t.co/e4p2u9v3Hc pic.twitter.com/mlCPsciKnI

The website was reportedly hacked on Tuesday, 5 March. However, no hacker group had claimed responsibility for it.

For the last 15 days, the website remained offline with a message that read: “We’ll be back soon! Sorry for the inconvenience but we’re performing some maintenance at the moment. We’ll be back online shortly!”

The message was also accompanied with a logo of the party with the tagline ‘The Party With A Difference.’
