Janshakti Janata Dal ("People's Power Party"), abbreviated as JJD, is an Indian political party founded by Tej Pratap Yadav, the son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, on 26 September 2025, following his expulsion from the Rashtriya Janata Dal.[1][2][3] After the conclusion of the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly election, party president Tej Pratap Yadav announced that the Janshakti Janata Dal would extend support to the NDA government.[4]

Yadav had, on 18 August 2025, floated the new political party, which had been led by Balendra Das as President since its formation before the 2024 Indian general election.[5] Dainik Jagran reported that the party has been registered since 2020.[6]

The party's first list of candidates for the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly election had a total of 21 candidates.[7] Yadav himself announced his candidacy from Mahua constituency in Vaishali district, Bihar. The party failed to win any seat.
