Jebamani Janata Party Explained

The Jebamani Janata Party (JJP), is a political party in India. It is registered with the Election Commission of India, but nevertheless is not recognized.[1] [2] [3] Jebamani Mohan Raj (b. 1951–1952), who retired from being a police officer and inspector for the CBI, founded the party, naming it after his father, Nellai R. Jebamani, a "freedom-fighter" who in 1977 was elected to represent the Sattankulam constituency in the Tamil Nadu assembly as a member of the Janata Party.[4] [5] Mohanraj became its General Secretary, and as of October 2011, he had "contested 15 elections to Parliament, the Assembly and the local body".[6] In an election on 16 May 2016, he received 60 votes, compared to 91,303 votes for the winner, representing the party in the elections for the Kolathur Assembly constituency's seat in the Tamil Nadu Assembly.[7]

In February 2013, the party expressed solidarity with Sasi Perumal, a 57-year-old Gandhian from Salem, for fasting in support of prohibition.[8]
