Jharkhand People's Party (abbr. JKPP and JPP), is a political party in India.[1] It was launched by the radical All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) on 30 December 1991 at a conference in Ranchi, under the leadership of Dr. Ram Dayal Munda. AJSU was founded on 22 June 1986 by Surya Singh Besra.[2] JPP was reconstituted in 1994, with Dr. Ram Dayal Munda as president and Surya Singh Besra as general secretary.
Later, a split occurred within the JPP. The faction led by Surya Singh Besra retained the name Jharkhand People's Party (JKPP).[3] The other faction led by Sudesh Mahto began using the name of the parent organization — All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU Party).
