All constituents of the Janata Parivaar have decided to come together once again and form a party to fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party. Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has been given the authority to take decisions regarding the merger and decide the agenda of the proposed party.

“Yadavji will work on the modalities and the process will be decided in the future meetings of the alliance,” JDU leader Nitish Kumar said in New Delhi on Thursday.

Criticising the ruling BJP-led government at the Centre, Nitish said that the promises made during the Lok Sabha election campaign have not been fulfilled. “There needs to be a strong opposition against the government. If we are united, our voice will be stronger. We have together to ensure unity,” Nitish said.

He also said that they will work together to get more parties on board to fight against the BJP. “There are many other parties which may not have been a part of the Janata Parivar, but they might want to join us today. Yadavji will work to get such parties together,” Nitish said.

The decision to form a new party was taken in a meeting held at Mulayam Singh Yadav’s residence in Delhi on Thursday. The constituents of the Janata Parivar – Samajwadi Party’s Mulayam Singh Yadav, Janata Dal United’s Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav along with JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda and INLD leader Abhay Chautala were some of the leaders who attended the meeting.

Reports suggested that the new front is likely to be called as Samajwadi Janata Dal and Mulayam may be anointed as the president.

It will be interesting to see if other regional parties like Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, Karunnanidhi-led DMK and Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal will join the front.

Recently, Mamata had said that the BJP will lose future elections if regional parties come together.

Earlier too, a similar strategy was adopted by the various regional parties including the Left and a Third Front was formed, however, it turned out to be the biggest flop in country’s political history.

Interestingly, the latest front comprises of those parties which were bulldozed by the BJP in the 2014 General Elections.
