Jai Samaikyandhra Party

Jai Samaikyandhra Party (JSP; Telugu for "Long live United Andhra Party") was an Indian political party launched by former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy. He launched the party in protest against Government of India's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh through Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill. Its poll plank is self-respect of Telugu people. The party was formally launched at a public meeting in Rajahmundry on 12 March 2014, and promised rollback of Telangana state in the event of JSP winning 25 seats. Its electoral symbol is a pair of slippers. In elections the party failed to win a single seat and lost deposits in many seats. Finally the party dissolved on 13 July 2018 and Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy re-joined INC.
