Lokdal
Lokdal or Lok Dal is an Indian political party based on agriculture policies, founded by former Prime Minister Charan Singh.[6] In August 1982, major split occurred in Lok Dal, with one faction of Charan Singh and another consisted of Karpoori Thakur, Madhu Limaye, Biju Patnaik, Devi Lal, George Fernandes, Kumbha Ram Arya.[7] The rebels were upset because of Charan Singh's dissociation with the coordination committee set up to facilitate the merger of the Lok Dal, Janata Party and Congress (Secular).[8] Later, in January 1983, Lok Dal led by Karpoori Thakur merged into Janata Party.[15] A splinter group led by Sunil Singh is still active in Uttar Pradesh as 'Lok Dal'.
