Lok Dal

Lok Dal, short for "People's Party" in Hindi, was a political party in India founded in 1980 by Chaudhary Charan Singh. It aimed to represent farmers, rural communities, and the agrarian interests of India, focusing on agriculture and rural development. The party sought to promote policies favorable to farmers and oppose urban-centric political dominance. Over time, Lok Dal played a significant role in Indian politics, often forming alliances and influencing government decisions related to rural issues. It eventually merged with other parties to form larger political entities, continuing to impact the political landscape of India's rural heartland.
