The Rashtriya Lok Morcha (abbr. RLM), originally established as Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal[1][2] is an Indian political party formally announced by Upendra Kushwaha on 20 February 2023, in Bihar after resignation from Janata Dal (United). The party's ideology is based on the ideals of Karpoori Thakur.[3][4] The foundation of the party was preceded by a two day conference organised by Upendra Kushwaha in Patna, in which he invoked the participation of all the members of Mahatama Phule Samata Parishad, a socio-political organisation and his trusted aides in Janata Dal (United). In the backdrop of this conference the foundation of the party was announced.[5][6] Jitendra Nath who hails from sheikhpura was made the party's vice president.[1]
