Dr. Syamaprasad Jana Jagaran Manch

Dr. Syamaprasad Jana Jagaran Manch is a forum of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dissidents in the Indian state of West Bengal. The forum was launched on December 5, 2004 by former Union Minister Tapan Sikdar.
The organisation held its first convention in Kolkata on March 8, 2006.
The forum is named after Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Sikdar maintains that the organisation is apolitical (in the sense that it is not a political party), and that he still sympathises with BJP. The group campaigns against Bangladeshi immigration to West Bengal.
Former senior BJP leader K.N. Govindacharya is associated with the group.
