Reang Democratic Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reang Democratic Party was a political party in Mizoram, India, working for a Reang Autonomous District Council in southern Mizoram.[1]

On October 3, 1990, Bru leaders such as Chawngzika and Sawibunga conferred with Tripura's Bru/Reang leaders and recommended the formation of the first political party of the Bru/Reang community, the Reang Democratic Party.[2] Swaibunga Reang was the president of RDP.[3] RDP merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party on 4 October 1993.[3][4]

At present moment, it is now defunct and no longer exists as a political party but is still working on some minor issues.
