	Janata Dal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Janata Dal was formed on the 11 October 1988 at 1:18' PM IST at Bangalore, India.
		A slogan commonly used for the Janata Dal is "Dal badal badal ke dal dal kar diya" i.e.
		The Janata Party was an Indian political party that contested the Indian Emergency (1975-77) and became the first political party to defeat the Indian National Congress in the 1977 elections, forming the national government from 1977 to 1980.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation
		The other protagonists were Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Deve Gowda (also a former Prime Minister), Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan and representatives of the Nationalist Congress Party and the Republican Party of India.
		To pre-empt the rebels in both the Samata and the Dal (U) from moving court against the merger, a national council of the parties will be convened to formalise the unification.
		Dal (U) dissident Devendra Prasad Yadav had yesterday said the merger was unconstitutional as it did not have the approval of the party’s national council.

	HardNews - A many-splintered thing
		December 1989 — In alliance with the BJP (a splinter group of the Janata Party, formed in April 1980), the Janata Dal defeats Congress (I) in the 1989 parliamentary elections.
		The remaining faction of the party is named as Janata Dal (United), which joins hands with the BJP to become a part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
		Janata Dal (U) may not have remained the largest offshoot of the Janata parivar, but it still has a big say in national politics due to the number of heavyweights it has within its ranks.

		The Janata Dal was established through the merger of various formations of a centrist and Lohia-socialist orientation with an anti-Congress(I) identity.
		The turbulence of the Ayodhya campaign reduced this aspect of the Janata Dal's identity to a relatively marginal strain as opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party was established as a higher priority.
		Without Biju's leadership, the Janata Dal in Orissa faces the prospect of emerging a distant third in the electoral contest, squeezed as it is between the Congress(I)'s more durable organisational network and the BJP's dramatic emergence, as was apparent from the 1996 elections.

	The Hindu : Front Page : Janata Dal (S) leadership sees `crisis' in party
		The Janata Dal (S), which had 59 legislators, has 50 now with the expulsion of Chincholi MLA Vaijanath Patil and the suspension notice served on the Siddaramaiah group comprising eight legislators.
		Sources in the Janata Dal (S) told The Hindu on Saturday that irrespective of the dissatisfaction of some of the legislators arising out of the Ministry expansion, it was unlikely that any such legislator would join hands with the "rebel Janata Dal (S) legislators".
		The Janata Dal (S) has brought the matter pertaining to the suspension of two groups of its legislators to the notice of Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Krishna and Governor T.N. Chaturvedi.

	India - Opposition Parties
		The Janata Party was made up of the Congress (O), the Jana Sangh, the Bharatiya Lok Dal (Indian People Party), the Samajwadi Party (Socialist Party), a handful of imprisoned Congress dissidents, and the Congress for Democracy--a group led by Scheduled Caste leader Jagjivan Ram that had splintered off from the Congress during the election campaign.
		Just as key defections from the Congress were essential to the Janata electoral success in 1977, so too did V.P. Singh's defection from the Congress (I) in 1987 enable opposition factions from the Janata Party and Bharatiya Lok Dal to unite the Janata Dal in 1988.
		Although the Janata Dal won state elections in Karnataka in 1994 and Bihar in the spring of 1995, its poor showing in most other states gave the impression that its support was receding to a few regional bastions.

	Janata Dal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Front coalition that was formed consisted of the Janata Dal and a few smaller parties in the government, and had outside support from the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Communists.
		In November 1990, this coalition collapsed, and a new government headed by Chandra Shekhar which had the support of the Congress (I) and a faction of the Janata Dal came to power.
		Amongst the larger splinter groups include the Rashtriya Janata Dal (which ruled the state of Bihar), Samajwadi Party (a major force in Uttar Pradesh), Biju Janata Dal (governing Orissa), Janata Dal (Secular) (governing Karnataka) and the Janata Dal (United), (currently ruling Bihar and whose leader George Fernandes was the Defense Minister of India).

	From Jal Khambata
		Janata Dal General Secretary Bapu Kaldate said 11 of the 16 members of the party’s highest decision-making body of PAC endorsed the decision to replace Sharad Yadav with Deve Gowda.
		The Janata Dal was already going through pangs of the divide drama since last week but the final divide came at 11 in the morning on Wednesday at a Press conference when Sharad Yadav welcomed both George Fernandes and Ramakrishna Hegde for bringing back their respective parties back into the Janata Dal’s fold.
		BJD CONSIDERING: The Biju Janata Dal, yet another splinter JD group and an ally of the BJP, was still considering the merger move but Sharad Yadav was confident that it would also return to the parent party to give more teeth to it to deal with the BJP on equal footing.

	India Elections 1996 - Peasant Surprise by Walter Hauser
		Comparing the 1996 Bihar results with 1991, the Janata Dal is down from 32 to 22 of the 54 Lok Sabha seats, the CPI down from eight to four seats, while the CPI (M) has lost its lone seat giving the National Front-Left Front combine in Bihar a total of 26.
		This means that the Janata Dal, National Front-Left Front combine and the BJP-Samata Party alliance will be essentially equal in strength of their Lok Sabha numbers, with two seats to the Congress, and one for the JMM.
		And the fragmenting of the MY factor-the Muslim and Yadav support base of the Janata Dal- in the 1996 election in Bihar is a good case in point, as is the upper/backward caste alliance of the BJP/Samata as an anti-Yadav formation.

	From Jal Khambata
		If the faction which is led by Janata Dal's original president Sharad Yadav wins the symbol, the BJP would have no problem if members of its allies -- Lokshakti and Samta Party - contest the election on the symbol, the BJP sources said.
		The Janata Dal, led by Sharad Yadav, would thus become a NDA partner but nobody from the Janata Dal would, however, be represented on the NDA's coordination committee until after the elections and all seat negotiations with it also would be only through the duo of George and Hegde, the BJP sources said.
		Had Hegde wanted, Patel and a majority of Janata Dal MLAs would have defected to his Lokshakti last year itself after the Lok Sabha elections, but he deliberately let the Janata Dal Government continue in the state all these months to play his trump card now, the aggrieved Karnataka BJP leaders state.

	A 'united' Dal and a divided NDA
		Meanwhile, NDA insiders point out that the tough postures adopted by the reunified Janata Dal and some BJP leaders over the singular issue of wielding greater clout in the alliance is the reason for the suspicions over the new alignment.
		The Janata Dal won 9 per cent of the votes polled and one seat in Bihar, and in Karnataka its voteshare was 21.7 per cent and it won three seats.
		In the first place, the Janata Dal had been degenerating in the last two years and there was no way it could have held on to its support base, he argued.

		While noting that Deccan Herald by itself was a much-valued paper, the JD(S) leaders chose to cast aspersions on the credibility of the ORG-Marg group and said that vested interests have influenced it in its choice of respondents.
		The 24 per cent of votes polled by the Janata Dal factions in the last elections is now wholly the share of the JD(S), he said.
