Where can I find the list of BJP MPs in Parliament?
BJP has members in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

Which states does the BJP govern, and who are the Chief Ministers?
BJP governs several Indian states either directly or as part of NDA/alliance governments. Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister details change with elections and cabinet decisions, so the best current source is BJP's official State CMs and Deputy CMs page. The tool can guide visitors there and explain the difference between BJP-ruled states and NDA/alliance-ruled states.
