History

Samajik Nyaya Manch (also written as Samajik Nyaya Manch) was founded in 2003 by Lokendra Singh Kalvi and Devi Singh Bhati as a social-cum-political organization just before the assembly election in Rajasthan. [3] The party aimed to provide social justice to economically backward upper-caste communities in the state. [4]

In the 2003 assembly election, the party contested 38 seats but won only one. The party's demand for reservation benefits for economically deprived Rajputs and Brahmins was later conceded by the state government and supported by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance.

However, in 2016, the Election Commission of India canceled the recognition of 12 political parties in Rajasthan, including Samajik Nyay Manch. [5]

Ideology

Samajik Nyay Manch's ideology was centered around providing social justice to economically backward upper-caste communities in Rajasthan. The party's demand for reservation benefits for economically deprived Rajputs and Brahmins set it apart from other political parties in the state. [6]
