Jai Samaikyandhra Party (JSP; Telugu for "Long live United Andhra Party") was an Indian political party launched by former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy.[1] He launched the party in protest against Government of India's decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh through Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill. Its poll plank is self-respect of Telugu people. The party was formally launched at a public meeting in Rajahmundry on 12 March 2014, and promised rollback of Telangana state in the event of JSP winning 25 seats. Its electoral symbol is a pair of slippers.[2] In elections the party failed to win a single seat and lost deposits in many seats. Finally the party dissolved on 13 July 2018 and Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy re-joined INC.
