Janata Dal political party in India was established.

The Janata Dal party in India was established on 11 October 1988.

It was formed by the merger of several parties, including the Janata Party, Lok Dal, Congress (S), and the Jan Morcha, with the goal of uniting opposition forces against the Congress party.

Its prominent leaders included V P Singh, who became the first Prime Minister from Janata Dal, along with leaders like H. D. Deve Gowda and Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Over time, the party fragmented into various regional parties, such as Janata Dal (United) and Janata Dal (Secular).
