TheJanata Unnayan Party (JUP;Bengali:জনতা উন্নয়ন পার্টি,romanized: Jôntā Unnôyôn Pārṭi, lit.People’s Progress Party) is a regional political party in the Indian state ofWest Bengal. The party was founded on 22 December 2025 byHumayun Kabir, aMember of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from theBharatpur Assembly constituency.[1]
The party was formed following Kabir’s suspension from theAll India Trinamool Congress. According to its leadership, the Janata Unnayan Party aims to represent grassroots interests, with a focus on secularism, social justice, and minority rights. The party has indicated its intention to contest the2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.
The party was officially launched at a mass rally at the Khagrupara intersection inBeldanga,Murshidabad. The formation was preceded by weeks of tension between Kabir and the TMC leadership, culminating in his suspension on December 4, 2025. The flashpoint was Kabir's controversial decision to lay the foundation stone for a "Babri-style mosque" inRejinagar on December 6, a move aimed at consolidating Muslim support which the TMC viewed as divisive, due to the presence of theHindu nationalistBharatiya Janata Party as the main opposition party in the state.[2][3]
