Dr. Syamaprasad Jana Jagaran Manch

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Dr. Syamaprasad Jana Jagaran Manch is a forum of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dissidents in the Indian state of West Bengal. The forum was launched on December 5, 2004 by former Union Minister Tapan Sikdar.[1]

The organisation held its first convention in Kolkata on March 8, 2006.[2]

The forum is named after Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Sikdar maintains that the organisation is apolitical (in the sense that it is not a political party), and that he still sympathises with BJP. The group campaigns against Bangladeshi immigration to West Bengal.[3]

Former senior BJP leader K.N. Govindacharya is associated with the group.[citation needed]
