'''Karnataka Janata Paksha''' ('''KJP''') was a political party based in [[Karnataka]] state. It was founded in 2012 and disestablished in 2014, merging with the [[Bharatiya Janta Party]]. It was headed by [[Chief Minister of Karnataka|Karnataka Chief minister]] [[B. S. Yeddyurappa]].<br />
<br />
Yeddyurappa had resigned as a [[Member of Legislative Assembly]] and from the primary membership of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) on 30 November 2012. The party was formally launched in a convention at [[Haveri]] on 9 December 2012, wherein thousands of people participated.<br />
<br />
Scores of former and sitting legislators, ministers and senior functionaries of the [[BJP]] joined the party along with Yeddyurappa.<br />
<br />
In the [[2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election|2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly Elections]], the party under the leadership of Yeddyurappa won 8 of the 203 seats it had contested and secured about 10% of the total votes polled. Although, the party did not make any significant gains in the elections, it had restricted the BJP to just 40 seats, compared to the 110 it had in the outgoing assembly.<ref name=ShettarresignCNN-IBN>{{cite news|title=Karnataka: Jagadish Shettar resigns as Chief Minister|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/karnataka-jagadish-shettar-resigns-as-chief-minister/390466-37-170.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130618225418/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/karnataka-jagadish-shettar-resigns-as-chief-minister/390466-37-170.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 June 2013|newspaper=[[CNN-IBN]]|date=8 May 2013}}</ref><br />

Though the KJP was formed as a splinter of the BJP, it did not profess [[Hindutva]] as its ideology and instead adopted a centrist [[social democracy|social democratic]] stance with a [[secularism in India|secular]] outlook.<br />
<br />
In September 2013, Yeddyurappa announced that the party would support the BJP-led [[National Democratic Alliance]] to ensure the victory of [[Narendra Modi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/report/no-merger-with-bjp-but-will-back-nda-under-modi-bsy/20130919.htm |title=No merger with BJP but will back NDA under Modi: BSY – Rediff.com India News |publisher=Rediff.com |date=19 September 2013 |accessdate=13 February 2014}}</ref><br />
