About us
Who we are registered as, what symbol we contest on, how we are organised, and what our constitution binds us to.
The Rashtriya Independent Party exists to publish that blueprint and then run it for anybody who applies. We train candidates, we field them, and we hold them to a manifesto that resolves to numbers.
Everything on this page is a matter of public record with the Election Commission of India. We publish it here as well so nobody has to file a request to read it.
Registered with the Election Commission of India under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Registration particulars, including the registration number and date, are published here in full.
As a registered unrecognised party we are not entitled to a reserved symbol. Our candidates contest on a symbol drawn from the Election Commission free symbols list, allotted election by election.
A common symbol across a state assembly election requires an undertaking to field candidates in at least five percent of that state's seats. We give that undertaking only where we can actually meet it.
Help us reach that thresholdThe party shall bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established, and to the principles of socialism, secularism and democracy, and would uphold the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India.
Our constitution also sets out how office bearers are elected, how long they serve, how accounts are kept and audited, and how a member may be expelled and may appeal. Organisational elections are held at fixed intervals and their results are filed with the Commission.

Rashtriya Independent Party is founded by Rajat Singh on the argument that political skill can be taught, and that a party is the right place to teach it.
Registration, first training cohort, first state unit, and first contested election are added to this page as each one happens, with the date it happened.
Most party sites open with numbers. We would rather publish none than publish invented ones. From our first contested election this section carries members enrolled, candidates trained, seats contested, votes polled, and deposits saved, updated after every result.
