This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: The article incorporates tables with very long headings, meaningless numbers/annotations, exhaustive lists without relationship to the article's subject (the alliance today), and doesn't distinguish between the historical background and current status of the Janata Parivar.

Janata Parivar is an umbrella term which refers to various political parties that emerged from Janata Dal.
