Bharatiya Janshakti Party
Indian political party
The Bharatiya Janshakti Party (BJSP; IAST: Bhāratiya Janaśakti Pārtī; "Indian People's Power Party") was founded on 30 April 2006 in Ujjain in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It was founded by Uma Bharti, a former leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), following her expulsion from the BJP for "indiscipline".
She stated that the Bharatiya Janshakti Party was subject to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an institution preeminent in India for being the ideological parent body for a number of powerful Hindu nationalist groups in India, and had secured from that organization its support. With Uma Bharti rejoining the BJP in June 2011, the Bharatiya Janshakti Party would be merged with the BJP. BJSP working president Sangh Priya Gautam announced the merger here in the presence of BJP national president Nitin Gadkari, Uma Bharti and other senior leaders.
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. In the 2008 State Assembly Elections, the party won only 6 out of the 230 seats in the State Legislative Assembly.

Why this record matters
“Bharatiya Janshakti Party” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Bharatiya, Janshakti and Party provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4901227. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2011 and 2008.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
