Political party in India
The People's Party of Punjab (PPP ) was a Punjab-based Indian political party , founded by Manpreet Singh Badal in March 2011.[2] After disagreements with the Chief Minister and his uncle Parkash Singh Badal , Manpreet resigned from the position of Finance Minister of Punjab, and later, from membership of the state assembly .[3] In 2016, Manpreet announced the merger of the party with the Indian National Congress after meeting with party vice-president Rahul Gandhi .[4] [5]
History [ edit ]
The People's Party of Punjab (PPP ) had a short-lived existence. After its formation in March 2011, it contested the 2012 Punjab Legislative Assembly election . Following a non-impressive performance in 2012, it decided to dissolve the organizational structure in 2014 and make attempts to rejuvenate the party.[6] The party forged an alliance with the Indian National Congress to contest the 2014 Indian general election with Manpreet contesting the Bathinda Parliamentary seat[7] [8] against Harsimrat Kaur Badal . In 2015, amidst speculation that it would merge with the Aam Aadmi Party , the PPP denied talk of its merger.[9] Later, in 2016, the party was dissolved and it merged with the Indian National Congress .[10]
2012 Punjab State Election [ edit ]
The 2012 state election was the first to be contested by the party. It allied with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) , the Communist Party of India and the Shiromani Akali Dal (Longowal) in a group calling itself the Sanjha Morcha .[11] [12] Badal was the chief ministerial candidate of the coalition.
The Sanjha Morcha was unsuccessful in winning any of the seats it had contested despite garnering an approximate share of 6% of the total votes polled.
Ideology [ edit ]
Unlike the Shiromani Akali Dal from where Manpreet Singh Badal and a majority of his followers came, PPP maintained a distance from Sikh political affairs, and aimed to emerge as a secular[13] third-front alternative in Punjab politics, aligning with various left parties.
