The Jan Suraaj Party (lit. 'People's Good Governance Party'; abbr. JSP) is an Indian political party founded by Prashant Kishor on 2 October 2024, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti. Rooted in Gandhian principles and social liberalism, the party positions itself at the centre to centre-left of the political spectrum, and seeks to function in the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership acted as a broad-based people’s movement.
The party emerged from the Jan Suraaj Abhiyan, a grassroots movement initiated by Kishor to engage with the people of Bihar and develop a governance roadmap. This was followed by a statewide padyatra that began on 2 October 2022 from the Gandhi Ashram in Champaran, the site of Mahatma Gandhi’s 1917 satyagraha, culminating in a launch event in Patna, that drew a crowd of over 200,000 people, marking the formal transition of Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Abhiyan into a political organisation.
