The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) (abbreviated as LJP (RV)) is an Indian political party formed in 2021 under the leadership of Chirag Paswan.[4] Election Commission of India froze the symbol of erstwhile main Lok Janshakti Party[5] and allotted new name and symbol to both factions.[6] It is now one of two separate factions - the other being the Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party.[7][8]
