TheBharatiya Janshakti Party (Hindi: भारतीय जनशक्ति पार्टी,IAST:Bhāratiya Janaśakti Pārtī; "Indian People's Power Party") was founded on 30 April 2006 inUjjain in the state ofMadhya Pradesh, India. It was founded byUma Bharti, a former leader of theBharatiya Janata Party (BJP), following her expulsion from the BJP for "indiscipline".[1]
She stated that the Bharatiya Janshakti Party was subject to theRashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an institution preeminent in India for being theideological parent body for a number of powerful Hindu nationalist groups in India, and had secured from that organization its support.[2] With Uma Bharti rejoining theBJP in June 2011, the Bharatiya Janshakti Party would be merged with the BJP. BJS working presidentSangh Priya Gautam announced the merger here in the presence of BJP national presidentNitin Gadkari, Uma Bharti and other senior leaders.[3]
The Bharatiya Janshakti Party had a marked lack of political success in its five-year career; Bharti later stated that she severely regretted the time she spent outside the BJP.[4] In the 2008 State Assembly Elections, the party won only 6 out of the 230 seats in the State Legislative Assembly.[5]
