Democratic Socialist Party (Prabodh Chandra)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Democratic Socialist Party is a social democratic political party in India. The party is almost completely limited to West Bengal. The party was formed when the Bengali socialists, who had been part of Janata Party, were divided in two in the beginning of the 1980s. The other faction became the West Bengal Socialist Party.
DSP is part of the Left Front-government in West Bengal. The party leader Prabodh Chandra Sinha, is Minister of Parliamentary Affairs in the state government. Sinha was elected to the state assembly in 2001 as an independent candidate from the constituency Egra. At that time DSP was not registered at the Election Commission of India. Now the party has once again registered, under the name Democratic Socialist Party (Prabodh Chandra).
Prabodh Chandra Sinha was at a conference in New York during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
DSP has tried to contact the Socialist International, but have been denied membership on the grounds that they are a regional party.
DSP has won the Pingla seat in the 2006 assembly poll in West Bengal. Probodh Sinha lost his Egra seat to Trinamul's Sisir Adhikari.
