Akhil Bharatiya Ram Rajya Parishad ( RRP , "All India Council of Ram's Kingdom") was an Indian Hindu nationalist political party founded by Swami Karpatri in 1948. [1] The RRP won three Lok Sabha seats in the 1952 elections to the national Parliament and two in 1962 . [2] In 1952, 1957 and 1962, it won several dozen Vidhan Sabha seats, all in the Hindi belt , mostly in Rajasthan . Like other Hindutva -based parties, the RRP fought against the implementation of the Hindu code bills in India. [3] The party eventually merged into the Jana Sangh , the precursor to the Bharatiya Janata Party . [3]
