The first Democratic Swarajya Party was established by [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]] in 1920 within the [[Indian National Congress]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Inamdar|first1=N.

C. Kelkar]], [[M. R. Jayakar]], Bhaskar Balwant Bhopatkar and Karandikar became members of the [[Swaraj Party]] within the Congress and contested elections for the legislative councils.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Cashman|first1=Richard|title=The Myth of the Lokamanya: Tilak and Mass Politics in Maharashtra|publisher=University of California Press|page=[https://archive.org/details/mythoflokamanya00rich/page/214 214]|url=https://archive.org/details/mythoflokamanya00rich|url-access=registration|accessdate=29 May 2015|isbn=9780520024076|date=January 1975}}</ref> Since the Congress boycotted the councils following the civil disobedience movement, old-Tilakites were dissatisfied and decided to contest the elections and enter the councils. Therefore, Kelkar, along with [[B. S. Moonje]], [[Madhav Shrihari Aney]] and Jamnadas Mehta revived the Democratic Swarajya Party on October 29, 1933 in Bombay.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Pandey, Pande & Bisht|title=Current Economic Issues and Policies: 2000 A.D.|page=164|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dasfD02sb8IC&pg=PA163|isbn=9788186565780|year=2000}}</ref><br />
