Janata Parivar

Janata Parivar is an umbrella term which refers to various political parties that emerged from Janata Dal.

A formal union of some of these parties, the Janata Parivar Alliance, was formed in 2015 but became inactive after the withdrawal of various parties.On 14 April 2015, the RJD, Janata Dal (United), Janata Dal (Secular), the Indian National Lok Dal, Samajwadi Party, and Samajwadi Janata Party (Rashtriya) announced that they would merge into a new national Janata Parivar alliance in order to oppose the BJP, thus breaking their long time alliance with the INC.[1] This would give the alliance 14 Lok Sabha seats and 30 Rajya Sabha seats.
