The Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party (Farmer Worker People's Party), or Praja Party for short,[1] was a political party of India. Established in 1951, it merged with the Socialist Party to form the Praja Socialist Party in the following year.[2] The Andhra unit of the party, however, revived the old party under the name "Praja Party" and lasted for a few more years.[3]
History
In June, 1951
In 1953, the Andhra State was separated from Madras, and Prakasam was offered Chief Ministership of the state by Indian National Congress. He split from the Praja Socialist Party and revived the old party under the name "Praja Party".[9] In the 1955 election, Congress, the Praja Party, and Krishikar Lok Party (another splinter group of the original Praja Party) formed a united front against the Communists and won the majority.[10]
