The Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party (Farmer Worker People's Party), or Praja Party for short,[3] was a political party of India. Established in 1951, it merged with the Socialist Party to form the Praja Socialist Party in the following year.[4] The Andhra unit of the party, however, revived the old party under the name "Praja Party" and lasted for a few more years.[5]
