The Samata Party (SAP) is a political party in India, initially formed in 1994 by George Fernandes and Nitish Kumar. It was an offshoot of the Janata Dal, with the alleged casteism of the parent party being the reason given for the split.[2] The party has socialist leanings, and at one point wielded considerable political and social influence in North India, particularly in Bihar. In 2003, the bulk of the party merged with the Janata Dal (United), but a small breakaway faction led by Brahmanand Mandal, and Raghunath Jha continues to function under the name of the Samata Party.

Later Raghunath Jha quit the Samata Party and joined other parties. Brahmanand Mandal was the President of the Samata Party. After that, due to the illness of Brahmanand Mandal, Kumari Nambi is the President, N.A.Khoan is the Secretary General, Gautam Das is the General Secretary and A.P.Subramanien is the Treasurer.
