Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)

Rashtriya Janata Dal - National Peoples Party is one of the major political party in India. The party was founded in 1997 by Laloo Prasad Yadav. It has a strong presence in Bihar under the leadership of Laloo Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi. Traditionally, the mass base of the party has been Yadavs and Muslims, two large and relatively politically active segments of Bihar's population.

RJD lost power after the elections in 2005, when a Nitish Kumar-led coalition NDA government wrested power from Rabri Devi, who had been chief minister of the state for XX years. The RJD is also a constituent of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA)led by the Congress at the Centre.

Following the performance of the RJD in the last few elections, the Election Commission has now accorded it the status of a recognized national level party in 2008. RJD recently came into the headlines for its allegedly clandestine seat-sharing deal with Ram Vilas Paswans Lok Jana Shakti Party, leaving just three seats for the Congress. According to sources, the alliance between Congress and RJD is over now. The party will combine with Lok Janata Party leaving only three seats for the Congress. Now, with the Congress declaring its intentions to contest 37 seats in Bihar, RJDs marriage with the Congress in the UPA seems to be hanging a question mark.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)

The BSP was formed in 1984 by Kanshi Ram who has remained party leader ever since. The party emerged from Kanshi Ram's earlier activity promoting the interests of Scheduled Caste government employees. Kanshi Ram was able to promote the organisation in the states of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh. Although the BSP is recognised by the Election Commission as a national party it effectively functions on certain North Indian states only. It's ideology is based on the argument that the majority are oppressed by the select upper class. It aims to change this using the government power.

Mayawati and Kanshi Ram are the two key figures of the party.

The BSP first entered the election fray in 1984 but didnot do well. It started to rise in the post alliances era. While in power in 1995, the BSP was clouded in several controversies.

Indian National Congress


Indian National Congress - symbolThe oldest Indian political party, the Indian National Congress was formed in 1885 and was the most powerful force behind the country's struggle for independence It also held power for most years after independence. The party has also been instrumental in the making or fall of non-Congress governments at the centre when it was out of power.

Sonia GandhiThe Party boasts of the leadership of what can be said the first political family of the country. The dynasty goes back to the time of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister. His daughter, Indira Gandhi, active during the years of the freedom struggle was the natural heir to the throne. The suspension of democratic institutions during emergency earned her many critics and also led to the birth of many anti-Congress factions. Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984. Rajiv Gandhi, then a political novice, swept the polls through the apparent sympathy wave. His tragic assassination again brought the Congress to power in 1991, with PV Narasimha Rao as the Prime Minister. The Congress popularity nose-dived mainly due to the involvement of its leaders, including Narasimha Rao, in the vote buying case during a confidence vote and other corruption charges.

In 1999 Mrs. Sonia Gandhi entered politics and took the reins of the party. This was the time when the party most needed the support of the Nehru -Gandhi Family. Now she has matured in the game and is again leading the party in General Elections 2004. The party in her leadership plans the comeback to power.

The main agendas for the elections are
  • Generation of more jobs
  • Eradication of poverty
  • Step up public investment in agriculture
  • One-third reservation for women
  • Commission for the problems of North Eastern States
