The party promoted nine programs known as the 9 Ways of Justice and Prosperous People (Indonesian: 9 Jalan Rakyat Adil dan Makmur): Fair taxation, national industrialization, modern agriculture, strengthening small and medium business enterprises, clean government, progressive advancement of Indonesian peoples, upholding democracy, and gender equality.
Most of the party members and officials during its declaration were PRD cadres and its affiliates. The only exception is R Gautama Wiranegara, a retired major general of Indonesian Army and was a general secretary of National Counter Terrorism Agency.
Due to its connection to the PRD, which was aligned to left-wing politics and had a strong socialist foundation, the party has been attacked and accused as "Neo-Communist" by Islamic far-right extremists and New-Order revivalists. The accusation was dismissed by party officials.
