Congress Jananayaka Peravai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Congress Jananayaka Peravai (Congress Democratic Front) was political party in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. CJP was founded in 2001 by ex-minister P. Chidambaram, as a splinter-group of Tamil Maanila Congress, when TMC allied themselves with All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections Chidambaram ran as Indian National Congress candidate from Shivgangas, and won with 400 393 votes (60,01%).
On November 25, 2004 CJP merged into the Indian National Congress. Discussions about a merger had taken place during a long time, but the merger was resisted by the Tamil Nadu Congress leadership. In the end the merger was pushed through by the national Congress leadership.[1]
