Tukaram Bharat "Manoj" Parab (born 18 August 1985) is an Indian politician, former geologist, and activist[3] who serves as the party chief and president of the Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP), a non-governmental organization he founded in March 2017, which received recognition as a political party from the Election Commission of India in 2022.[4]

Prior to forming the NGO, Parab joined the Aam Aadmi Party as a member before the 2017 Goa Legislative Assembly election.[5] He subsequently left to form the Revolutionary Goans on 3 March 2017, along with seven founding members,[6] including Viresh Borkar and Vishwesh Naik, whom he had met during his involvement with the Aam Aadmi Party.[7]
