Bharatiya Gorkha Janashakti

Bharatiya Gorkha Janashakti

Bharatiya Gorkha Janashakti (Indian Gorkha People's Power), a political party in the northern parts of the Indian state of West Bengal. BGJS was launched in 1998, anticipating the 1999 Darjeeling Gorkha Autonomous Hills Council elections. BGJS was part of the United Front launched by Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxists and Akhil Bharatiya Gorkha League.

BGJS demanded that the Gorkhas should be included as Scheduled Tribes (giving access to quotas and reservations) and that the area of DHAGC ought to be reorganized.

In 2003 BGJS was revived, ahead of the DGAHC polls the following year.

The president of BGJS is C.R. Rai.
