Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) (JVM (P)) ({{translation}} 'Jharkhand Development Front (Democratic)') was a state political party in the Indian state of Jharkhand which was founded by former Union Minister and First Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Babulal Marandi.
Formation
The party's formation was announced by Marandi at Hazaribagh on 24 September 2006.{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060925/asp/jharkhand/story_6788709.asp|title=Marandi's 'Morcha' strikes out Stephen|date=2006-09-24|publisher=The Telegraph|access-date=2009-11-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204061931/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060925/asp/jharkhand/story_6788709.asp|archive-date=4 February 2016|url-status=dead}} Marandi was earlier a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, but he quit in mid-2006 because he felt he was being sidelined in the party.
Six JVM(P) MLAs on 11 Feb 2015 joined the BJP, a day after petitioning the Speaker to allow them to sit alongside the ruling BJP-led coalition members in the state Assembly. Naveen Jaiswal (Hatia), Amar Kumar Bauri (Chandankiyari), Ganesh Ganju (Simaria), Alok Kumar Chourasia (Daltonganj), Randhir Kumar Singh (Sarath) and Janki Yadav (Barkatha) joined the BJP at the Jharkhand Bhavan in New Delhi.{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}
Dissolution
Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party on February 17, 2020, at Jagannathpur Maidan, Ranchi in presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda and former Chief Ministers of Jharkhand Arjun Munda and Raghubar Das. Earlier, Marandi had expelled MLAs Pradeep Yadav and Bandhu Tirkey from the party for “anti-party activities”. Both of them later joined Indian National Congress in its Delhi headquarters.{{Cite web|title=As Babulal Marandi goes back to BJP, his JVM-P MLAs join Congress |url=https://www.timesnownews.com/india/article/as-babulal-marandi-goes-back-to-bjp-his-jvm-p-mlas-join-congress/554654 |website=www.timesnownews.com |date=17 February 2020 |publisher=Election Commission of India |access-date=11 May 2020}}{{Cite web|title=Merger of Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik), a recognized State Party in the State of Jharkhand with the Bharatiya Janata Party|date=6 March 2020
