United Democratic People's Front
- United Democratic People's Front
The United Democratic People's Front was an electoral alliance in West Bengal, India, formed ahead of the 1957 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election. The front comprised of the Jana Sangh, the Hindu Mahasabha, the Revolutionary Communist Party of India and a section of independent Congress dissidents. [M.V.S. Koteswara Rao. "Communist Parties and United Front - Experience in Kerala and West Bengal". Hyderabad: Prajasakti Book House, 2003. p. 216.]
The front gained 3.44% of the votes in the state (Hindu Majhasabha 2.04%, Jana Sangh 0.98% and RCPI 0.42%), but none its candidates were able to win any seat. [M.V.S. Koteswara Rao. "Communist Parties and United Front - Experience in Kerala and West Bengal". Hyderabad: Prajasakti Book House, 2003. p. 217.]
This was the only experiment of electoral cooperation between Jana Sangh and a left-wing party in West Bengal. In subsequent elections, RCPI aligned with left and communist groups instead. [M.V.S. Koteswara Rao. "Communist Parties and United Front - Experience in Kerala and West Bengal". Hyderabad: Prajasakti Book House, 2003. p. 218.]
