Akhil Bharatiya Ram Rajya Parishad
Akhil Bharatiya Ram Rajya Parishad (RRP, "All India Council of Ram's Kingdom") was a nationalist and Humanist political party-Sanatan Indian political party founded by Swami Karpatri in 1948. The RRP won three Lok Sabha seats in the 1952 elections to the national Parliament and two in 1962.[1] In 1952, 1957 and 1962, it won several dozen Vidhan Sabha seats, all in the Hindi belt, mostly in Rajasthan. Like other Hindutva-based parties, the RRP fought against the implementation of a uniform civil code in India.[2] The party eventually merged into the Jana Sangh, the precursor to the Bharatiya Janata Party.[2]
