Samata Party

The Samata Party is a political party in India. It was led by George Fernandes. In October 2003, it announced that it will be merging with the Janata Dal (United). It was part of the ruling coalition the National Democratic Alliance.

In the 13th Lok Sabha (1999-2004), it had 12 (out of 545) members.

One minority in the party refused to go along with the merger, and maintained itself as a separate party.
