Vishal Haryana Party
Template:Short description Template:Use Indian English Template:Use dmy dates
The Vishal Haryana Party (translation: Greater Haryana Party) was a political party in the Indian state of Haryana, led by Rao Birender Singh.[1]
The party was formed in an effort to bring culturally similar groups in the region together,[2] but recognized a need to gain financial stability in order to maintain the Haryana state.[3] It was first regional party of Haryana and successfully made its own Chief minister only after six months of formation of Haryana state in 1967.[4] Initially, the party included only twenty-nine members,[5] formed from non-Jan Sanghis present in the legislature at the time.[6]
In the 1971 elections, the party released a manifesto that castigated the Congress Party for its 'semi-authoritarian' governance of the region, as well as promoting their own support for farmers.[7] The success of the party in the 1971 elections was attributed to Singh's personality; however, those same results appeared to show that their emphasis on local political issues detracted from further success.[8]
It merged with Congress (I)[9] on 23 September 1978. It officially lost its status as a registered political party as of 23 July 1981.[10]
