import React, { Component } from "react";


class Page extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
  activeTab: 0,
};
this.handleClickActiveTab = this.handleClickActiveTab.bind(this);
}

handleClickActiveTab(e) {
  const newActiveTab = e.target.tab;
 this.setState({
  activeTab : newActiveTab,
})
}

render() {
  const activeClass ='is-active';
return (
  <div styleName="page" className="container">
    <nav className="full-width-with-padding" styleName="nav-tabs-wrap">
      <ul styleName="nav-tabs">
        <li styleName={`nav-tabs__item ${this.state.activeTab == 0 ? activeClass : 
          ''}`}>
          <a styleName="nav-tabs__item-link" data-tab="0" onClick= 
            {this.handleClickActiveTab}>
            My BQ
          </a>
        </li>
        <li styleName={`nav-tabs__item ${this.state.activeTab == 1 ? activeClass 
              : ''}`}>
          <a styleName="nav-tabs__item-link" data-tab="1" onClick= 
           {this.handleClickActiveTab}>
            Subscriptions
          </a>
        </li>
        <li styleName={`nav-tabs__item ${this.state.activeTab == 2 ? activeClass 
             : ''}`}>
          <a styleName="nav-tabs__item-link" data-tab="2" onClick= 
             {this.handleClickActiveTab}>
            Promotions
          </a>
        </li>
        <li styleName={`nav-tabs__item ${this.state.activeTab == 3 ? activeClass 
               : '' }`}>
          <a styleName="nav-tabs__item-link" data-tab="3" onClick= 
             {this.handleClickActiveTab}>
            Contact
          </a>
        </li>
        <li styleName={`nav-tabs__item ${this.state.activeTab == 4 ? activeClass 
        : '' }`}>
          <a styleName="nav-tabs__item-link" data-tab="4" onClick= 
             {this.handleClickActiveTab}>
            Bookmark
          </a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
    <div />
  </div>
  );
}
}

 export default Page;

If this.state.isActive is true, activeClass is is-active. Now in each of <li> tags, you're adding the class is-active -- so all tabs are activated.

Instead you can save the number of the tab that is currently active as in Md.Warish's answer and add the class conditionally.

Instead using a boolean for active state, using integer to track the currently active tab like below:

...
constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  this.state = {
     activeTab: 1
  };
}
...

handleClickActiveTab(currentTab) {
 this.setState({ activeTab: currentTab });
}

And then using the current active tab number to set the active style or classname to your ponent:

...
<li className={activeTab === 1 ? "active" : ""}>
  <a styleName="nav-tabs__item-link" onClick={this.handleClickActiveTab.bind(this, 1)}>My BQ</a>
</li>

...
