All India Progressive Janata Dal

All India Janata Dal, is a political party in India. AIJD was launched on December 11 2002 by several leaders of Janata Dal (Secular) and Janata Dal (United) in Karnataka, including the main JD(U) leader in the state R.K. Hedge.

AIJD president is former Union minister S. R. Bommai (coming from JD(S)) and vice-president was Rajya Sabha member Vijay Mallya (previously vice-president of JD(U)). General Secretary is Basavaraj Rayareddy.

On March 14 2003 the Janata Party of Subramanian Swamy merged with AIJD. Swamy was appointed chairman of the political affairs committee of the party.

Mallya and Swamy later left AIPJD to reconstitute the Janata Party.
