Jan Kranti Party was a political party in Uttar Pradesh, India, based on Hindutva. It was founded by Kalyan Singh, a former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, on 5 January 2010 (in connection with Singh's 76th birthday). The party adopted Almirah as its Election symbol. The launching of the new party occurred two months after an alliance between Singh and the Samajwadi Party broke down. Upon the founding of the party, Singh handed over the leadership of the party to his son, Rajveer Singh, who was named national president.
