Swatantra Bharat Party, led by Anil Ghanwat of Maharashtra, is India's national liberal party.

The eternal principles of freedom and liberalism which informed Ambedkar’s drafting of India’s Constitution and Rajaji’s Swatantra Party (1959-1974), also underpin our party:

– Fundamental rights (including the primacy of property rights)

– Liberty (including freedom of speech and occupation)

– Good governance (rule of law, justice, optimal regulation)

Note: Swatantra Bharat Party is the name of the party formed in 2022 by the merger of Swatantra Bharat Paksha (commenced 1994) into Swarna Bharat Party (commenced 2013). Old content on this website will continue to bear the name, Swarna Bharat Party.

Why Swatantra Bharat Party

Countless restrictions on freedom and opportunity have blocked India’s progress despite achieving independence.

The Ambedkar Constitution, which would have ranked among the best in the world, was almost entirely re-written by governments starting with Nehru – to destroy the slightest semblance of property rights and freedom. 

Ever since it achieved independence, there’s no assurance of basic safety and security for the common man. The justice system is largely defunct. There are high levels of crime and corruption. It is virtually impossible to run a business in India without bribing someone or another – with all the attendant uncertainty and costs. 

By all international benchmarks India is close to a banana republic. All ruling political parties have failed because they believe in command-and-control  USSR-type socialism, with the heavy hand of the state blocking free enterprise at every step. The farmer, in particular, has virtually no freedom. 

Our Party brings together forces of Indian liberalism represented in the ideas of Gandhiji, Rajaji, Patel, Ambedkar and Sharad Joshi. Our policies that meet rigorous tests of analysis, provide the means to make India the world’s most successful and powerful country. We will make India the land of freedom and opportunity – greater than the West has ever been. Our best people find it worthwhile to stay back in India and raise their families. The best people from across the world will make a beeline to live and work in the India that our party will create.

Most of the systemic changes we will implement will take three years from the date of forming a majority government in parliament and in the states.

All that is needed now is a country that wants change.
